About This Novel
This book tells the story of three women's intertwined lives over thirty years. Ever since they can remember, Yuri and Satoko have been the best playmates in the group. One day in the second grade of elementary school, they suddenly became estranged...

In the winter of her second year in middle school, Yuri stabbed a man who wanted to commit violence against Maho, and the two of them fled in a hurry. The next morning, Yuri learned that Riko was taken away by the police as a murderer, but she did not tell the truth. Time passed like this... What happened to Yuri, Satoko, and Maho?

The friendship between these three people is really complicated. Once or twice I looked at him in a daze, and later he killed a third person indiscriminately. I felt that he was full of malice. I should go to jail.
Sew, glue, tie, and then embrace
It's a good story. The only thing that's a little strange is that the first-person reference in the text sometimes changes but there is no gap between paragraphs, which affects the reading a little bit. Also, the mystery of the narrative trick is a bit weak. I thought it was some shocking twist hhhh. On the surface, it is a relationship between three women, but in fact it may be a relationship between more women. They all have their own calculations, pains and positions. The word that echoes most in my mind when reading this novel is secretive. Everything seems to happen only between the eyes of the three people, and outsiders cannot pry into their secrets. Afterwards, I saw a three-person conversation in a low voice. When I approached, they all stopped and looked back at me. (I kind of want to complain about the translator and put it at the front. Personally, I prefer to read the text directly.
