An odd but thoroughly enjoyable novel of a foreign (Belgian) woman working in a Tokyo high-rise firm. I was on the edge of my seat as tp what would happen next throughout the whole book, and I read it in one sitting. The clash of cultures could not be more aptly written. Humorous as well as infuriating!
