The waiting years / [by] Fumiko Enchi. Translated by John Bester. - Tokyo : Kodansha International, 1971. - 203 p. 19 cm.

Translation of Onnazaka.

"In a series of brilliant, unnerving scenes, the novel evokes the human interplay within one upper-class family in the dying years of the nineteenth century. Above all, it describes the courage and distress of several women caught in a web of shifting relationships; it is these women who live on in the memory."-- Front cover flap.
