About This Novel
"Childhood Sweethearts" is a collection of works by Higuchi Kazuyo, an outstanding Japanese female writer in the 19th century. It selects a total of 8 masterpieces including the novels "Childhood Sweethearts", "New Year's Eve", "Sutra", "Fork in the Road" and essays "Cuckoo" and "Raindrops on the Oar". Higuchi Kazuyo lives in a corner of Tokyo, observing the world with a calm eye, writing about the ordinary daily lives of ordinary people, and discovering the way and strength of their tenacious life, and also addressing the tired daily lives of the world with a warm and compassionate heart. She comes from the market and writes about the market. She uses her rise in adversity to write about the original life and human emotions of small people in the great era, expressing her desire for light and warmth in the decline of the world. Higuchi Ichiyo's works achieve a clever balance between lyricism and narrative with his unique quasi-classical style, thus combining the charm of classical literature with the expressive power of modern literature.
