Someone is following her, always perched just out of sight, monitoring which buses she takes; what she eats; whom she speaks to.

'Disquieting and wryly funny, The Woman in the Purple Skirt is a taut and compelling depiction of loneliness and obsession.' PAULA HAWKINS 'Very powerful . . . Reading this book made me feel like I was in an unstable and strange world.' SAYAKA MURATA
