    From the author of the international bestseller Convenience Store Woman, a convention-defying and taboo-busting novel, and a radically reimagined vision of sex, family and society.

    "Normality is the creepiest madness there is..."

    In our near-future world, children are solely conceived by artificial insemination. Even sex between married couples is viewed as taboo.

    Amane's family is irregular. Her parents copulated to create her and hope that she too will find love and have a child with the person she marries. But Amane falls in line with society's way of thinking and wants a regular 'clean' marriage. Then she hears of a place that is the subject of a social experiment. Everyone in Paradise-Eden will act as one big family. Could this be the perfect third way?

    Praise for Sayaka Murata's fiction:
    'Exhilarating, weird and funny' Sally Rooney
    'Radical, hilarious, heartbeaking' Elif Batuman
    'A gift to anyone who has ever felt at odds with the world' Ruth Ozeki
