"Brests and Eggs" racconta la storia di tre donne: la narratrice trentenne, sua sorella maggiore e la figlia di sua sorella. Nella prima parte del romanzo la sorella della narratrice è partita per Tokyo alla ricerca di un intervento di mastoplastica additiva a buon mercato. La figlia dodicenne, Midoriko, è paralizzata dalla paura della pubertà e si scopre incapace di dar voce alle proprie incertezze, a causa delle enormi pressioni dovute alla crescita. In un’altra calda notte d’estate di dieci anni dopo, Natsu, la narratrice, si strugge per la difficoltà nel definire la propria identità mentre è tormentata dalla crescente ansia dell’invecchiare da sola e senza figli. Con episodi sarcasticamente comici, dal momento che sono sia fortemente emozionali che rivelatori, questo straordinario romanzo esplora, tra le altre cose, temi quali il diritto a riprodursi, l’amicizia, la classe sociale e il corpo femminile.
