Synopsis "Confessions"

When Yuko Moriguchi's four-year-old daughter died in the middle school where she teaches, everyone thought it was a tragic accident.

It's the last day of term, and Yuko's last day at work. She tells her students that she has resigned because of what happened - but not for the reasons they think.

Her daughter didn't die in an accident. Her daughter was killed by two people in the class. And before she leaves, she has a lesson to teach...

But revenge has a way of spinning out of control, and Yuko's last lecture is only the start of the story. In this bestselling Japanese thriller of love, despair and murder, everyone has a confession to make, and no one will escape unharmed.

Kanae Minato was born in Hiroshima. In 2007, she debuted as a writer by winning the twenty-ninth edition of the award given by the magazine Shosetsu Suiri, dedicated to mystery novels, for the story "The Saint". In 2008, she published her first novel, Confessions (Nocturna, 2021), which sold more than three million copies in Japan, won awards such as the booksellers' award or the Alex Award from the Library Association in the United States and had a successful film adaptation (directed by Tetsuya Nakashima) that represented Japan at the Oscars. A year later, she published Penance (Nocturna, 2022), adapted into a television miniseries by Kiyoshi Kurosawa, in which she again delves into the theme of revenge and the tragic events it triggers.

Currently, Kanae Minato is fully dedicated to writing and is a member of the Mystery Writers of Japan Association.
