“Has much in common with Gwendoline Riley’s First Love ” – A Separation by Katie Kitamura

"Kitamura has such a sad, melancholic voice that you often find yourself surprised by just how funny the novel can be. There’s a horrible streak of black humour that runs through the book - most clearly seen in a central scene in which the narrator takes her former husband’s mistress out for dinner and gets angry when she orders the most expensive item on the menu" - Daniel Carpenter reviews A Separation by Katie Kitamura
