Summary: 5 Stars
A young Japanese woman, Noriko, marries into a wealthy family. They seem pleasant enough at first but as time goes on she begins to harbour some suspicions.
Secret family meetings in the middle of the night, a brother and sister who are a little too close and a mysterious explosion at a property they own killing the tenants inside.
It all seems a tad dodgy. But is she imagining it or does she really live with some sort of freaky family?
Every time she thinks she is getting closer to the truth the family are able to divert her or offer a perfectly plausible explanation. As the reader, you don't know if this is all in her head or not.
We do find out in the end of course, and the resolution is as unexpected as it is disturbing.
Now You're One of Us by Asa Nonami is the best Japanese novel I have read in quite a while. It has a great hook, zips along at a cracking pace and is genuinely quite chilling.
Summary of Now You're One of Us
In the tradition of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca and Ira Levin's Rosemary's Baby, here is a new classic about the bride who's no longer sure what to think. All families have their own rituals, secrets, and credos, like a miniature religious cult; these quirks may elicit the mirth or mild alarm of guests, but the matter is rather more serious if you're marrying into a household. If its's a Japanese one with a history, the brace yourself: some surprising truths lurk around the corner.Horror Books
