Description
A poignant and deeply moving novel about three women's journeys towards finding peace and futures. On a sweltering summer day, Makiko travels to Tokyo to visit her sister Natsu, accompanied by their daughter Midoriko, who has grown silent due to the pressures of adolescence. As they spend time together in a working-class neighborhood, Midoriko's silence becomes a catalyst for each woman to confront their fears and family secrets. Eight years later, Natsu embarks on a journey back to her native city, struggling with anxieties about growing old alone and childless. Mieko Kawakami masterfully weaves together stylistic inventiveness, wry humor, and riveting emotional depth to tell a story of contemporary womanhood in Japan.
