The Diving Pool by Yoko Ogawa... There's a calm claustrophobia about her work that I find perversely pleasant. This is the fourth book of hers I read, after The Professor and the Housekeeper (also in english), and Hotel Iris and Smell of Ice (in greek). I found The Professor and the Housekeeper heartwarming, but I'm guessing it was a side effect - none of the other books are.
