She could not go on teaching knowing her daughter died in the same school and so she retired. Yuko’s daughter, Manami, recently died in the swimming pool in the middle school she is teaching.
It took me awhile to get use to the writing style but I couldn’t stop reading once I did. The first chapter itself begins with a teacher (Yuko-sensei) giving some sort of a retirement speech to her class, and answers her students’ questions – to which you do not know the questions, just the replies she gave. You’ll never look at a classroom the same way again.Īmazingly and very uniquely written novel! I guess it’s unique mainly because I have never read a novel with each chapter told by a different character. Narrated in alternating voices, with twists you’ll never see coming, Confessions probes the limits of punishment, despair, and tragic love, culminating in a harrowing confrontation between teacher and student that will place the occupants of an entire school in harm’s way. She tells a story that will upend everything her students ever thought they knew about two of their peers, and sets in motion a maniacal plot for revenge. Now, after a heartbreaking accident on the grounds of the middle school where she teaches, Yuko has given up and tendered her resignation.īut first, she has one last lecture to deliver. Now, she will have her revenge.Īfter an engagement that ended in tragedy, all Yuko Moriguchi had to live for was her four-year-old child, Manami.
