In her mid-thirties, Fuyuko Irie works as a freelance copy editor. She works and lives alone in a place where it is difficult to build new connections, so her editor, Hijiri, a lady her same age but considerably different in personality, is the only person she sees on a daily basis. Fuyuko sees a dull, uncomfortable, and lifeless lady who hasn't had the strength to alter her life and chooses to do so when she pauses one day on a Tokyo street and observes her reflection in a shop window.
But as the long-overdue adjustment takes place, unpleasant memories of Fuyuko's past come to light, and her actions become more and more out of the ordinary. Like only the finest stories, All the Lovers in the Night will make readers laugh and weep while also serving as a poignant and intelligent reminder that sometimes the suffering is worthwhile.
