Bøger af Fumiko Enchi

"Kvindemasker" er et ildevarslende trekantsdrama, en mystisk besættelsesfortælling om hævn og bedrag og en stærk psykologisk udforskning af sorg og jalousi. Ibuki er forelsket i den unge enke Yasuko, som sprudler af både vid og skønhed. Men ikke kun Ibuki er fortryllet, også hans bedste ven, psykologen Mikamé, er tiltrukket af Yasukos særegne aura. Hvad der bringer Ibuki flest kvaler, er det besynderlige bånd mellem Yasuko og hendes svigermor, en kunstnerisk dannet og charmerende midaldrende kvinde, som edderkoppeagtigt manipulerer forholdet mellem Yasuko og de to mænd, der elsker hende.Annette Thorsen Vilslev har oversat romanen fra japansk og har også skrevet bogens efterord.Udgives i Gyldendals Skala-serie for genopdagede mesterværker fra det 20. århundrede.
