A Separation by Katie Kitamura [Paperback]

A Separation is a literary novel about a young woman whose marriage is quietly ending. She and her unfaithful husband have agreed to separate, but they have kept the decision secret from everyone around them.

Before they can announce their separation, she learns that her husband has disappeared while traveling in a remote region of Greece's Peloponnese. Reluctantly, she sets out to search for him, all the while questioning whether she truly wants to find him.

As she journeys through the rugged landscape, she reflects on their marriage, his infidelities, and the emotional distance that always existed between them. The search gradually becomes less about finding her husband and more about confronting the unsettling realization that she may never have truly known the man she loved—or even herself.
