The Stitches of Time
About This Novel
"Stitches of Time" is a very healing prose work. The author Ogawa Ito, who lives in Germany, uses fresh and meaningful writing to describe the daily life in Berlin and the infinite recollection of the past. When you reach middle age, you have to learn tedious German again; in a foreign country, you can learn natto and Japan's unique ingredients; integrate into the local life in Berlin, reduce material desires, get close to nature wholeheartedly, and enjoy the clean and beautiful leisure time in Germany on weekends... In these warm prose, there are also the author's insights on life and family affection, the helplessness of a son who wants to be filial but cannot wait for him, the doomed separation of life and death, how to regain the hope of life in a desperate situation, and other healing insights. Every bit of life is integrated with Ogawaito's infinite love for the world. Ogawa Ito's words allow people to shake hands and make peace with the world, gain love, gain growth, and gain the joy of being a human being through reading.

Time passes
This is a prose about the years woven together by needle and thread. The author's daily life is so ordinary, and there are things that are not worth writing about. For example, she and her mother did not want to face the past, and she was not close to her mother and still had some hatred. However, the years allowed her to accept the past and complete some settlements. The relationship between the author and his mother is somewhat similar to that of Zhang Ailing, but the latter has never forgiven her in her life. Not all mothers in the world are good, and there are not a few who are sorry for calling her mother. This book reveals the passage of time in the author's mind without any concealment. Writing a story is like sewing stitch by stitch. Although it is the thread that finally becomes the words, nothing can be left behind only the thread. Only with the help of the power of the needle can the thread complete its mission. There are many parts of this book that are heart-warming and sympathetic. Come and have a cup of coffee☕️ and sit in the afternoon sunshine and read it😘😘
