Tight Seam in Water
About This Novel
After "Scream", it is another phenomenon-level social topic masterpiece that detonated Japan. It won the 9th Hayao Kawai Story Award, was shortlisted for the Yoshikawa Eiji Literary Award for Newcomer, and ranked No. 1 In Japan's bookstore sales rankings. This is a very ordinary family, but everyone in the family has something extraordinary: the younger brother likes embroidery, but was ostracized by his classmates because of this unmanly hobby; the elder sister does not like feminine things and is worried about not having a wedding dress that suits her; the mother does not like raising children, and is blamed for not being maternal; the father cannot shoulder the responsibility of making money to support the family, and is defined as a loser; the grandmother once dreamed of becoming a career woman, but was stuck as a "housewife" for most of her life. An upcoming wedding is like an exquisite container. Childhood memories, secret persistence, clumsy care, and quietly opening hearts, when the family began to understand the edges and corners of themselves and each other, the "abnormal" shell covering them gradually peeled off... In the end, they all found a way to accept the "abnormality" of themselves and others, and completed the leap.
