Synopsis
A young woman has agreed with her faithless husband: it's time for them to separate.
For the moment it's a private matter, a secret between the two of them. As she begins her new life, alone, she gets word that her ex-husband has gone missing in a remote region in the rugged southern Peloponnese.
Reluctantly she agrees to go and search for him, still keeping their split to herself. In her heart, she's not even sure if she wants to find him.
Adrift in the wild and barren landscape, she traces the failure of their relationship, and finds that she understands less than she thought about the man she used to love.

External Reviews
"A novel so seamless, that follows its path with such consequence, that even minor deviations seem loaded with meaning. Wonderful." - Karl Ove Knausgaard.
"A Separation is riveting, unsettling and beautifully written. Katie Kitamura really is the business." - Roddy Doyle.
"Consider Katie Kitamura a literary heavyweight in the making." - Vogue.
"Kitamura's protagonist is a smart, accomplished, contemporary version of that ancient literary figure, the unreliable narrator. A Separation leaves you intrigued & impressed." - Kate Clanchy, The Guardian.
"Profound and gripping. I had that rare sense of feeling like I was in a creation specifically made out of words, that couldn't have been made out of any other substance. Kitamura combines the calm complexity of Joseph Conrad with the pacing and reveal of Patricia Highsmith." - Rivka Galchen.
"Electrifying. I read it in one breathless sitting." - Alex Preston, The Guardian 2017 fiction picks.
"Kitamura's novels do new things with form I hadn't thought possible. A Separation will win awards and it's about time." - Nikesh Shukla.
"Gripping yet thoughtful psychological novel . . . an absorbing, reflective read . . . it builds a tension that kept me hooked." - Stylist.
"Kitamura delivers a powerful story . . . as the mystery questions how deeply we can ever know each other." - Anthony Cummins, Metro.
"Beautifully written." - Leaf Arbuthnot, Sunday Times.
