It was very interesting. Although it's a long novel, I read it through at one go skipping work. I strongly recommend you read it. It's a story of a woman's stormy personal life. Not only that, it describes even her rebirth after death. Let me tell you a brief description of the plot. May I?

Good questions, but please let me finish my brief description. After her lover was killed by another gangster, she made her autobiography up on someone's recommendation. Her book temporarily became popular due to her checkered career. Later she was taken into police custody for shoplifting and became popular again. Oh, you rubbed your drowsy eye.
