Since Aoyama is a bit rusty when it comes to dating, a filmmaker friend proposes that, in order to attract the perfect wife, they do a casting call for a movie they don’t intend to produce. As the résumés pile up, only one of the applicants catches Aoyama’s attention—Yamasaki Asami—a striking young former ballerina with a mysterious past. Blinded by his instant and total infatuation, Aoyama is too late in discovering that she is a far cry from the innocent young woman he imagines her to be. The novel’s fast-paced, thriller conclusion doesn’t spare the reader as Yamasaki takes off her angelic mask and reveals what lies beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Ryu Murakami","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":57819929444512,"sku":"9780393338416","price":9.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8637\/5072\/files\/BNCImageAPI_c6a2005d-af5e-444f-8d35-234d53730e27.jpg?v=1781190191","url":"https:\/\/rivendell-books.com\/products\/9780393338416","provider":"Rivendell Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
