Secret

I bought this book yesterday and read it in one sitting. I felt inexplicably sad, for Hiraji, for Naoko, and even for the long-dead Monami. I really can't imagine how Naoko cruelly abandoned her husband of many years and started another life as a daughter. Similarly, I even felt disbelief and heartache for Heikai after discovering that Samomi was Naoko. I think the last two punches should be more about Pingjie's relief for the past and the future. It turns out that this is fate.

For some reason, I became obsessed with Keigo Higashino's novels, and reading one Keigo Higashino every month seems to have become a habit. Today, let's talk about the book "Secret". The characters in this work are vivid and have a sense of down-to-earth reality. With this novel, Keigo Higashino won the first and only Japan Mystery Association Award so far in his life. Unlike previous works, this book does not put the reasoning out in the open, but the bizarre stories always make readers think more. Heisuke was originally an ordinary man, with a beautiful and virtuous wife, a lovely and obedient daughter, and a plain and happy life. However, all this harmony was broken by a car accident. In the eyes of the world, Heisuke is happy. The only survivor in the car accident was his daughter Samomi. From Heisuke's point of view, it seems that he has lost nothing. His wife's consciousness is hidden in his daughter's body, and Monami is Naoko. Heisuke, who was "widowed", has always endured loneliness for his beloved wife. He had a chance to have something happen with Nami's elementary school teacher Takiko Hashimoto, but he held it back for Naoko. While on a business trip, he also entered a guest house, but never betrayed Naoko. On the other hand, Naoko's body is growing up day by day, and she is surrounded by all kinds of suitors. Based on the fear of being abandoned, Heisuke stalked, secretly opened letters, and even secretly recorded Naoko's phone calls... But can this really keep Naoko? When everything Heisuke did was discovered by Naoko, the two had a big quarrel, which was their first quarrel in the past five years. After the quarrel, Heisuke decided to let go and accompany Naoko as a father. At this time, Sanami's consciousness also began to wake up, and Naoko slowly disappeared... Did Naoko really disappear? No, the end of the article implies that Naoko has not disappeared, because Samami took the wedding ring of Naoko and Heisuke and asked Kozo to help her re-forge the wedding ring. She wanted to marry another man with Naoko's love for Heisuke. Heisuke realizes that Naoko has not disappeared. Sad? It is undoubtedly sad. Naoko has not disappeared, maybe she has never disappeared, but this matter can only be a secret. This is the end of the article. After reading it, I couldn't calm down for a long time. Heisuke was actually the most miserable victim in that car accident. He seemed to have lost nothing, but in fact he lost everything. The car accident took away Naoko's body and Monami's consciousness, and Monami's wedding really made him lose his beloved Naoko. This ending is not perfect, but it is the most reasonable. No matter whether it is Samomi playing Naoko or Naoko playing Samomi, the starting point of all this is love. This story is meant to make readers feel love and think about what love is. When you love someone, you should make them happy. Naoko did it, and when Heisuke made the decision to live with her as her father, she also made the decision to pretend to be Monami, so that Heisuke could truly let go. Heisuke also did it. He clearly knew that the person wearing the wedding dress was Naoko, but for the sake of her happiness, he pretended not to know. But what exactly is happiness? Are they really happy doing this? This ending is very controversial. Just as there are no two identical leaves in the world, everyone's definition of happiness will be different. What do you think? Text: confused

After reading the book The Secret, I was unhappy for the whole day. It brings me the most loyal or least loyal interpretation of love, and I'm sad. The story mainly tells the story of a mother and daughter in a family of three. After a car accident, the mother's soul came to live in the daughter's body and lived on her daughter's behalf ever since. During this process, the wife planned to make her daughter better and re-study. The husband also fell in love with his wife's primary school teacher. Many years later, the wife's new life encountered an unstoppable trend of progress. She used the body of her daughter, not a middle-aged woman, but a young girl in her prime. This should be the age when love begins, but in fact, she is a person with a husband. The conflict started from then on, and the choice of life became the path that the two of them had to choose. Later in the story, the wife came back pretending to be her daughter's soul, but her own soul disappeared. In other words, the character of the wife truly said goodbye to this world. The wife fell in love with a new life and new people, but the husband still remained loyal because of her. I have always been puzzled as to what role love plays in this. How do you view the relationship between love and new life?

Is the story really over? From a rational point of view, Naoko's choice is the best, but emotionally this choice may be the worst. When Heisuke knows everything, the dislocation of identity, and the intervention of a third person, he can no longer face Naoko, and he loses his daughter and wife at the same time. For Naoko, she chose to live as Monami, but she still couldn't get rid of her feelings for Heisuke, so she used the old ring to recast her wedding ring. But now she should face her new husband. In my opinion, it is not so much that Naoko made a rational choice, but rather surrendered to the helplessness of reality. At the same time, why did she marry Fumiya? The process of Naoko falling in love with Fumiya was very abrupt. When she first met and learned Fumiya's identity, Naoko's reaction was very subtle, which makes people wonder. Regardless of whether the story ends or not, it would be a tragedy in my opinion.

I read this book in one go. After reading it, I had mixed feelings and couldn't calm down for a long time. When reading, you can always find bits and pieces of ordinary life in it, and the taste is indescribable. . Well. .

It was very painful for Naoko to have to bear her daughter's youth and to take into account other people's opinions and suspicions. Thinking about it, she was not wrong🤗

Very good, I really like Higashino Keigo's books

Although it is an imaginative and bizarre story, it also contains many moral, ethical, logical and emotional issues that make people have to think about it. After reading it all afternoon, Heisuke and his wife Naoko both made sacrifices, just so that their child, Samomi, could have a bright future while still alive, and they kept working hard and enduring. It's just that Heisuke is getting old and lonely for the rest of his life, while Naoko has a new life in place of Nami. Heisuke is still more pitiful. After reading Keigo Higashino's book, I realized that there is a kind of sadistic heart that does not require life and death, but it can hurt the heart with every word, which is heartbreaking. It started as a tragedy and ended as a comedy, but it was a tragedy after all.

I really feel sorry for Heisuke, Keigo Higashino's books are always so realistic,

Regardless of whether Monami is really Monami in the end, or Naoko has been playing Monami for nine years, in the end she can only be Monami. I really couldn't help crying when I saw the end. Naoko did everything for her husband, the entanglement of identity ethics, and the torture that hits the depths of the soul. Keigo Higashino's book is different from other books. He has the most tender part, whether it is the relationship between the three of them, or Heisuke's tenderness towards the driver's family, or the Negishi family, the driver himself. This is the simplest yet most difficult tenderness in the world
