The Unburnt Evening Scene
About This Novel
Generations of Japanese women in the past gave birth to many children, took care of their elderly and demented parents, worked hard to overcome poverty, and quickly ended their short lives... But who said that women are born to be attached to their husbands and contribute to their families? As time goes by, housewives are becoming more and more determined to develop themselves. They are burdened with heavy caregiving pressure, they are bursting with vitality, they have no place to express their depression and have to end their lives... Together, they depict the portrait of modern Japanese women in their old age. How to age with more dignity? Has the "revolution" of wives, mothers, and daughters-in-law succeeded?
