The new novel by world bestselling author and British Book Award winner Asako Yuzuki!

A novel about obsession, friendship and the slow disintegration of two lives.

Eriko has a prestigious job in a trading company and a flawless life, but beneath the surface lies an all-consuming loneliness. She is fascinated by Shoko, a housewife who lives like a cat in the day and writes about her unusual everyday life as a housewife in her lifestyle blog "Diary of a Useless Wife". When the two meet by chance, a special bond is formed, but it takes a toxic turn when Shoko suddenly stops blogging and disappears. They become caught up in a maelstrom of obsession that leaves a trail of devastation in its wake.

"Tokyo Girls Club" is a bold novel, captivating and with psychological depth.

Asako Yuzuki was born in Tokyo in 1981. She has received numerous awards for her writing, most recently the Noma Publishing Culture Prize. Her novel "Butter" is a bestseller in Japan and has sold 200,000 copies in Japan alone. It is published worldwide in numerous languages and won the British Book Award in 2025. "Tokyo Girls Club" was awarded the Yamamoto Shūgorō Prize.
