Description
A celebrated Japanese cellist seeks solitude and renewal on a voyage through the Panama Canal, but the journey soon draws her into a tense and unsettling confrontation with danger. As the boundaries between memory, imagination, and reality begin to blur, her carefully controlled public life gives way to long-buried fears and desires. Exploring isolation, identity, artistic obsession, and the fragile divide between civilization and violence, the novel combines psychological suspense with vivid, dreamlike prose.
