When Yuko Moriguchi's four-year-old daughter died in the middle school where she teaches, everyone thought it was a tragic accident. It's the last day of term and Yuko's last day at work. She tells her students that she has resigned because of what happened - but not for the reasons they think. Her daughter didn't die in an accident. Her daughter was killed by two people in the class. And before she leaves, she has a lesson to teach. But revenge has a way of spinning out of control and Yuko's last lecture is only the start of the story. In this bestselling Japanese thriller of love, despair and murder, everyone has a confession to make and no one will escape unharmed.
My Opinion
Confessions by Kanae Minato is a gripping Japanese revenge thriller that absolutely deserves a place on every reader’s TBR list. Told through a multi–point-of-view structure, the novel allows each character to present their own version of events, gradually revealing the truth in layers. This narrative style adds psychological depth and keeps the tension constantly rising.
Japanese authors often stand out for their ability to blend simplicity with deeply unsettling ideas, and Minato does this brilliantly. The writing feels clean and controlled, yet the emotions underneath are intense and disturbing. What begins as a tragic classroom incident slowly transforms into a chilling exploration of guilt, justice, and revenge.
The pacing is so compelling that I finished the book in a single day. Every chapter shifts perspective in a way that reshapes your understanding of what you’ve just read. Just when you think you know where the story is heading, another revelation changes everything.
While the characters are complex and memorable, it is the climax that truly sets this book apart. The ending is shocking, dark, and unforgettable — the kind that lingers in your mind long after you close the book.
