About This Novel
Japanese literary queen Banana Yoshimoto's healing masterpiece, illustrated by the internationally renowned artist Yoshitomo Nara, jointly depicts a healing story of perfect happiness. Mitsuko is a happy girl. She has a father who is good at stone carving and a mother who loves dolphins. But my mother passed away due to illness, and my father disappeared that day. The strong Mitsuko is persistently looking for news about her father. Half a year later, Mitsuko came to a strange building full of exotic flavor. The three-story building stood alone in the middle of a large grassland. Knocking on the door, Mitsuko was greeted by a strange old woman with gray messy hair. Her unprovoked warm hug surprised Mitsuko. Curious Mitsuko was attracted by the tinkling sounds upstairs, and unexpectedly found her father carving a dolphin tombstone for her mother on the top floor. This weird Argentinian mother-in-law saved the relationship between the father and daughter with her warm hugs, amazing dances and her own family philosophy, and helped them find the true meaning of family and affection. During the tango dance, Mitsuko gradually understood why her father fled here and was so fascinated by her Argentine mother-in-law. The original book cover and illustrations were designed by the Japanese art master Yoshitomo Nara. The story has been remade into the movie "Argentine Mother-in-Law" by the famous director Naoki Nagao. Popular movie stars Horikita Maki, Yakusho Koji, and Suzuki Kyoka co-starred. It is known as "a story depicting a perfect happy situation."
