Every protagonist in The Diving Pool is profoundly lonely. Ami is ignored by her parents; the narrator in "Pregnancy Diary" is an observer in her own family; Mie in "Housekeeping" lives in self-imposed exile. Their twisted actions are desperate attempts to forge a connection, however destructive.

The Diving Pool: Three Novellas is a collection by acclaimed Japanese author Yoko Ogawa, first published in English in 2008 and representing the first major English translation of her work.

Yoko Ogawa's "The Diving Pool" is a haunting, minimalist novella exploring themes of intense isolation, emotional neglect, and quiet psychological cruelty within a Japanese orphanage setting. Narrated by Aya, a neglected teenager, the story uses themes of water, surveillance, and detachment to examine the erosion of empathy when an individual is starved of affection.
