teru miyamoto's kinshu: autumn brocade
recently translated from the japanese, this novel is written entirely in letters between a couple who divorced ten years before the current story after the husband has an affair that ended tragically. they encounter one another on a train in the middle of nowhere and a correspondence ensues, during whihc their past and present stories are told. i really liked this book--it's sort of quiet and beautiful (or maybe that's just the cover i'm thinking of, as i glance down at it--either way, i'd recommend it).
