Description

A poignant and introspective novel about a young mother's journey to find her place in the world. Takiko Odaka embarks on a solo walk at dawn, driven by her desire for freedom and a new beginning.

Set against the backdrop of 1970s Japan, this tender story explores the complexities of motherhood, shame, and identity. As Takiko navigates the challenges of caring for her newborn son, she finds solace in the company of other women and begins to explore the world beyond her city limits.

With lyrical prose and a deep understanding of the human experience, Yuko Tsushima crafts a powerful portrayal of a woman's quest for autonomy and self-discovery. A moving and thought-provoking read, this novel is a must-have for fans of feminist literature and those interested in exploring the complexities of Japanese culture.
