About This Novel
The so-called deep river is the Ganges, the holy river in India. On the banks of the Ganges, the corpses of the deceased are burned and the ashes are scattered into the river in the hope that the soul will be resurrected in the next life; countless devout people wash and bathe in the river water mixed with ashes or corpses to pray for happiness in the next life. The deep river, the river of God's love, will not be rejected no matter how ugly or dirty the person is. The story opens with a Japanese tour group heading to India. The members have different personalities: there is a staff member who is determined to pursue the possibility of his wife's reincarnation, a writer who wants to pin his heart on birds, a veteran who has experienced hell in the Burmese jungle, and a divorced woman who cannot fall in love with others... Each of them has their own life and secrets that cannot be told to others; they live with these burdens, and they have things in the deep river that must be purified...
