About This Novel
"I like my life very much, and I like it more than anything else." The landmark novel by the queen of modern Japanese literature, Yoshimoto Banana, marks the end of the "first period of Yoshimoto Banana" and won the 5th Murasaki Shikibu Literary Award. After being translated into English, it became popular in the United States. The girl Sakumei suffered a head injury and lost her memory. As she recovered bit by bit, a brand new world opened up in front of her. In the past, she had a crush on her sister's boyfriend, the novelist Ryutaro, who had a hard time opening her mouth. Now they not only come together, but also accompany her to the unique island of Saipan, where they enjoy the beach, sunset and sea breeze, and understand the meaning of life in the local ancient soul legend. The little brother with an eccentric personality also became cheerful under the influence of the island's simple kindness. This amnesia unexpectedly brought comfort and laughter to their strangely structured family. After going through ups and downs, Shuomei finally tasted the nectar of ordinary life.
