“An unhappy housewife learns to cope with loss and trauma in Maki Kashimada’s novel Love at Six Thousand Degrees. One day, for no apparent reason, a woman leaves her child at the neighbor’s and runs away. Her morbid fascination with atomic bombings draws her to Nagasaki, where she starts a diffident affair with a much younger man... Love at Six Thousand Degrees is a novel about learning to acknowledge bad memories rather than hide them away.”
