As she faces the future, memories of her own childhood loss flood into her consciousness, threatening to overwhelm her.Combining the beauty and unease of a dream, this haunting novel is an unflinching portrayal of a woman's innermost fears and desires.'As relevant today as when it was published ... at once powerfully uplifting and achingly sad' Japan Times
