"Speaks directly to the heart."—Le Monde
"Eric Faye is a rare talent."—Le Figaro
There were just eight centimeters of juice now, though I'd measured fifteen before leaving the house . . . Someone had been helping themselves. And I live alone.
In a house on a suburban street in Nagasaki, meteorologist Shimura Kobo lives quietly on his own. Or so he believes. Food begins to go missing. Perturbed by this threat to his orderly life, Shimura sets up a webcam to monitor his home.
But though eager to identify his intruder, is Shimura really prepared for what the camera will reveal?
Nagasaki is based on a real news story. In 2008, a Japanese woman was found to have been secretly living in a man's house for over a year, by hiding and sleeping in a wardrobe. Éric Faye has taken this news item and transformed it into a heart-rending story about the alienation of modern life.
Born in Limoges, Éric Faye is a journalist and the prize-winning author of over twenty books.

Recensione:
In 109 pages what seemed at first a slight story unfolds, like those Japanese paper pellets that, dropped into water, expand into fragile, delicate beauty that touches the heart. --The Spectator
An unexpectedly touching and intriguing gem.--- Mr B's Emporium of Reading Delights
I found this reportage style fiction amazingly fresh. Eric Faye has taken a small news story and turned it into a human story about the people and the emotions behind the headlines.--- Winstonsdad's blog
Speaks directly to the heart --Le Monde
Elegantly, without ever raising his voice, Éric Faye considers guilt, memory, our fragile sense of how to behave, and the selfishness of societies. --L'Express
