Description

Two sisters, Sora and Nana, are bound by a childhood shattered by their father’s death and deepened by their mother Aeja’s grief—an obsession that turns life’s tenderness into something cold and inevitable. Years later, Sora is jolted by Nana’s pregnancy, only to find that their shared history has left them emotionally distant, with old wounds and unspoken truths widening the gap between them. As Sora confronts the past and the meaning of love, a boy from their childhood and the steady comfort of everyday care—meals, routines, and small acts of attention—offer a different way to live. Blending intimate family drama with themes of mourning, agency, and the possibility of renewal, this novel explores how people inherit despair—and how they might choose, at last, to go on.
