Swallows by Natsuo Kirino, translated by Lisa Hofmann-Kuroda, is a contemporary Japanese novel exploring surrogacy, class, gender, motherhood and bodily autonomy. Twenty-nine-year-old Riki has moved from the countryside to Tokyo but struggles to make ends meet in a dead-end job. When she is offered a large sum of money to become a surrogate, the opportunity seems impossible to refuse.Her intended clients are Motoi, a retired ballet star, and his wife Yuko, who have spent years trying to have a child. What begins as a straightforward commercial arrangement becomes increasingly complicated as Motoi and Yuko attempt to control Riki and the pregnancy. Their carefully constructed agreement begins to unravel, forcing questions about who owns a woman's body, who has the right to parent a child, and what happens when money and power determine reproductive choices. Set against contemporary Japan, Swallows is a sharp, psychologically compelling novel about economic inequality, patriarchal power, female autonomy and the commodification of fertility.
