>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A magnetic work.' -Lire
A novel by the author of The Sky is Blue, The Earth White, winner of the Akutagawa Prize, the Ito Sei Prize, the Woman Writer's Prize, the Tanizaki Prize and the Man Asian Literary Prize, with more than 1,000,000 readers.
'I don't like to talk about the past. Mama repeated it often, almost in a whisper, but as soon as she said it, she began to do it.'
A brother and sister return to the home of their childhood, the place of happiness, desires, and forbidden secrets about to be revealed. The luminous memories mingle with those that burst out, devastating everything: the delicate touch of linen mixes with the uproar of fleeing the attack with sarin gas; the painful silences of the family with the sound of mountain insects. With the almost artisanal mastery that characterizes her, Hiromi Kawakami once again builds a fragile and sensual world in which glitter and shadows embrace in a unique way. Written after the tragedy of the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in 2011, this novel embodies, with all its contradictions, the desire to live after the catastrophe.
