Thirst for Love
Widowed and installed on her father-in-law's farm outside Osaka, Etsuko keeps his bed, keeps a private ledger of her own humiliations, and fixes on Saburo, the young gardener who barely registers her. An autumn festival, a stolen pair of socks and a servant girl's pregnancy give the jealousy something to work with. Mishima at twenty-five, studying an appetite that cannot be satisfied by being fed.
