On Parole - by Akira Yoshimura (Paperback)

On Parole is a thought-provoking and emotionally charged novel that explores the complexities of freedom and redemption after serving sixteen years in prison for a crime of the heart.

Through the eyes of Shiro Kikutani, a quiet man navigating his way through the unsuspected traumas of readjusting to society, Yoshimura paints a powerful portrait of psychological struggle and human resilience.

As Kikutani takes comfort in the numbing repetition of his new daily life, he is drawn inexorably back to the scene of his crime, raising provocative questions of guilt and redemption.

With smoothly translated prose that tilts to reach vertigo-inducing depths, this eloquent and sorrowful novel is a meditation on the ravages of war, the persistence of violence on the human soul, and incredible bravery.
