In this way, the events of this book comes to a circle. The fifth chapter is told in the point of view of Shūya Watanabe, and the last in the point of view of Yuko again. The second to class president Mizuki Kitahara, the third to the Naoki Shitamura’s second sister, and the fourth to Naoki Shitamura himself. The first belongs to Yuko Moriguchi, the homeroom teacher whose daughter her students killed. There are six chapters in this book and each chapter is also told from a different character’s point of view.

Written in the same confessional style as Penance (which makes sense and really suits the story this time), Confessions is many times more gripping and distinct than Minato’s second book. Genre(s): Asian Literature, Thriller, MysteryĬonfessions is Kanae Minato’s first published book, but the second work of hers that I’ve read, which is perhaps a blessing because Confessions is what Penance should’ve been.
