520    "After calling off her engagement in wake of a tragic 
       revelation, Yūko Moriguchi had nothing to live for except 
       her only child, four-year-old Manami. Now, following an 
       accident on the grounds of the middle school where she 
       teaches, Yūko has given up and tendered her resignation. 
       But first she has one last lecture to deliver. She tells a
       story that upends everything her students ever thought 
       they knew about two of their peers, and sets in motion a 
       maniacal plot for revenge. Narrated in alternating voices,
       with twists you'll never see coming, 'Confessions' 
       explores 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"--From publisher description.
