Description
Rainbirds is a dark and spellbinding literary debut that follows Ren Ishida's journey to self-discovery after his sister's murder. When Keiko, his younger sibling, is stabbed to death in their hometown outside Tokyo, Ren travels to Akakawa to settle her affairs.
Ren accepts a teaching position at a prestigious local cram school and moves into the mansion of a wealthy politician, where he will be reading to the man's ailing wife. As he delves deeper into his sister's life, he uncovers secrets she kept even from him.
In this haunting tale, Ren is haunted by dreams of a young girl desperately trying to communicate with him, and he must confront the truth about his sister's final days.
