Years later, the writer\u2019s stepson reflects upon his stepmother and the strange stories she used to tell him. Meanwhile, a surgeon\u2019s lover vows to kill him if he does not leave his wife. Before she can follow-through on her crime of passion, though, the surgeon will cross paths with another remarkable woman, a cabaret singer whose heart beats delicately outside of her body. But when the surgeon promises to repair her condition, he sparks the jealousy of another man who would like to preserve the heart in a custom tailored bag. Murderers and mourners, mothers and children, lovers and innocent bystanders\u2014their fates converge in a darkly beautiful web that they are each powerless to escape.\n\nMacabre, fiendishly clever, and with a touch of the supernatural, Yoko Ogawa\u2019s Revenge creates a haunting tapestry of death\u2014and the afterlife of the living",
