In this moving novel by Hiromi Kawakami, two siblings, Miyako and Ryo, return to their childhood home, a place where memories of the past and secret desires seem to come alive. Through delicate prose, the author intertwines daily life with historical events, such as the 1995 sarin gas attack, exploring the invisible bonds that unite a family and the persistence of memory.
