"Escaped Nobuko" is an autobiographical novel written by the Japanese writer Miyamoto Yuriko based on her personal experience.

In the novel, Nobuko's relationships with her husband, mother, and female close friends are intricately intertwined, and the scenes are described in a gripping manner. Japanese private novels are good at self-revealing narratives and are known for their in-depth exploration of the characters' psychology. The usual life seems calm and without violent conflicts, but the characters' feelings are full of crises and undercurrents. In terms of text narrative, because the author was influenced by Tolstoy and other Russian novelists, he shows a very delicate realistic style.
