Description

In the heart of Tokyo, a young woman's life is irrevocably altered when her husband leaves, thrusting her into the solitary role of raising her daughter. Through twelve interconnected vignettes, she confronts the daily challenges of work, finances, and profound loneliness, all while nurturing the fierce love of motherhood. This novel masterfully explores the quiet strength found in redefining home and selfhood, transforming ordinary moments into profound acts of resilience. Yuko Tsushima's signature spare prose and keen psychological insight illuminate the enduring power of human connection in the face of abandonment.
