Her pupils murdered her daughter. Now she will have her revenge. After calling off her engagement in the wake of a tragic revelation, Yuko Moriguchi had nothing to live for except her only child, four-year-old child, Manami.

She tells a story that upends everything her students ever thought they knew about two of their peers, and sets in motion a diabolical plot for revenge. Narrated in alternating voices, with twists you'll never see coming, Confessions probes the limits of punishment, despair, and tragic love, culminating in a harrowing confrontation between teacher and student that will place the occupants of an entire school in danger. You'll never look at a classroom the same way again.

Quinze anos atrás, uma menina de 10 anos foi assassinada em uma pacata cidade do interior do Japão. Quatro garotas que estavam com a vítima pouco antes de ela ser morta falaram com o suspeito, mas, por algum motivo, nenhuma delas conseguia se lembrar do rosto dele, e o caso foi arquivado. A mãe, inconformada com a perda da filha, queria vingança, e ameaçou as garotas: "Eu nunca vou perdoar vocês. Façam o que for preciso para encontrar esse assassino. Se não conseguirem, cada uma terá que pagar uma penitência". Mesmo com esse fardo sobre os ombros, as protagonistas, Sae, Maki, Akiko e Yuka, conseguem chegar à vida adulta.

告白

La espeluznante historia de cuatro mujeres perseguidas por la sombra de un crimen que en Japón ha vendido más de 1 millón de ejemplares Cuando eran pequeñas, un extraño convenció a Sae, Maki, Akiko y Yuka de que se separasen de su amiga Emiri. Unas horas más tarde, Emiri apareció asesinada. Ninguna de las cuatro amigas fue capaz de describir físicamente al desconocido ni de dar pistas a la policía después de que se hallara el cadáver de la niña, por lo que la madre de Emiri les hizo una amenaza: «Haced lo que sea para encontrar al asesino. Si no, deberéis cumplir una penitencia». Y ahora, quince años después, cuando el delito está a punto de prescribir, ella culpa a las cuatro y jura que pagarán por la muerte de su hija... Como Confesiones, la premiada novela superventas con la que Kanae Minato ya dejó a los lectores sin aliento, Penitencia es una escalofriante historia de venganza, secretos y la delgada línea que puede separar al testigo del cómplice. «Minato crea personajes que se sumergen profundamente en la psicología humana, especialmente en la de las niñas y las mujeres, con una mirada inquebrantable al lado oscuro de las personas». BookRiot «Emocionante, llena de tensión... Una perturbadora historia de tragedia, culpa y penitencia». Publishers Weekly «Con una estructura similar a la de Rashomon, Penitencia es tan sutil como una novela policiaca perspicaz y compleja». Literary Hub «Kanae Minato es una narradora brillante». Emily St. John Mandel, autora de Estación Once
