Hester is a female figure who believes that she has the right and power to love. She is patient and strong. The author's writing technique is unique, and the words are complicated and mysterious. The forest infested by witches, the blood-red A, and the baby who escapes from the elf make the whole book enveloped in a strange and strange atmosphere.
