Perfect for fans of Convenience Store Woman, this award-winning Japanese debut revolving around a fake pregnancy is a triumphant mix of comedy, tension and social commentary.

As the only woman in her office, Ms Shibata is expected to do all the menial tasks. One day she announces that she can't clear away her coworkers' dirty cups - because she's pregnant and the smell nauseates her. The only thing is... Ms Shibata is not pregnant.

Pregnant Ms Shibata doesn't have to serve coffee to anyone. Pregnant Ms Shibata isn't forced to work overtime. Pregnant Ms Shibata can rest, watch TV, take long baths, and even join an aerobics class for expectant mothers. But she has a nine-month ruse to keep up. Before long, it becomes all-absorbing, and with the help of towel-stuffed shirts and a diary app that tracks every stage of her 'pregnancy', the boundary between her lie and her life begins to dissolve.

Diary of a Void will keep you turning the pages to see just how far Ms Shibata will go.

Translated from the Japanese by David Boyd and Lucy North.

Diary of a void

Lúcia Sousa

Um dos meus livros preferidos do ano, este novo romance japonês mostra-nos uma crítica à sociedade patriarcal que ainda coloca as mulheres em caixas e as diferencia dos restantes trabalhadores. Um romance mordaz e super humorístico sobre a gravidez e a forma como é visto no mercado de trabalho. Amei !!!
