Our Lady

Xu Wei, I thought it was a timeline at first, but I didn't realize it was an identity until I saw it later. It's a very successful narrative, but it's a pity that there's no way to change it, otherwise the mother-daughter relationship would be very touching.

This is real narrative trickery! The gender and subject are blurred, hiding the two-line narrative of the relationship between mother and daughter. This kind of narrative trick is not a trick like playing some word games, but it is naturally integrated into daily conversations and utilizes people's inherent psychology and common sense prejudices. They directly make preconceptions and make judgments, and then fall into the author's trap, and finally meet the reversal. The wonderful thing is that even if you have discovered doubts through the text, roughly clarified the relationship, and deduced the truth, you will not find this book boring, because the book has no clues and no obvious preaching. Everything is left to me to discover by myself, just like playing a game. The superb skills make the story extremely readable, and it is worthy of being a masterpiece. As for the story itself, I would rather see it as a redemption fairy tale for a mother and daughter in a troubled generation. It is not a suffocating kidnapping maternal love, but a touching and holy love. She is worthy of being the "Mother". The open ending at the end is heart-wrenching. Too much emotion may have been invested in it, but the happiness of these three generations of women stops at this moment, and there is a possibility of collapse in the next moment [almost crying]

I didn't come back to my senses for half a day after watching it, it was so shocking (it is recommended not to read the commentary when watching it, there are a lot of foreshadowings, and spoilers will reduce the experience of the reasoning). The author really uses the narration technique to the extreme, so when the truth is revealed, the feeling of disbelief is overwhelming. (The second half of this book review contains spoilers!) The double-line approach makes the plot more compact. Tanaka Makoto is both a daughter and a mother, protecting her children and being protected by her mother (it reminded me of a brain teaser I had seen before, "Two pairs of fathers and sons went to eat, but the waiter only gave three pairs of chopsticks." The answer is that the grandfather, father and son happen to be two pairs of father and son). At first, I thought it was just an old mother who was paranoid about protecting her daughter. After reading it, I discovered that it was a family, two virgins. Makoto chose to kill to protect her daughter, which symbolizes protection; while Honami chose to frame her daughter to protect her daughter, which symbolizes redemption. They are all using different ways and extreme means to protect the people they love. The greatness of maternal love is breathtaking.

It's too strong. I first said it to the person who recommended the book on Douyin: "The last dozen or so pages will turn the previous story upside down." This sentence came from me. I was really looking for details before and guessed a lot of random things. But the twist at the end is really unexpected. It's really too strong. And for the second time, the author was almost giving crazy hints. I really didn't feel it at all when I read it for the first time [awkward laugh] But I didn't pay attention to the author's gender before, but after reading the first chapter, I realized that it must be a girl. It's so delicate. Every paragraph of the old mother's recollection of the process in the maternity hospital makes me feel the same. Both the psychological and physical aspects are so delicate. Only a girl can really write it. All in all, no matter what aspect, it is really worth reading.

The writing is so good, it is very consistent with the name of the Holy Mother. It is not the kind of Holy Mother that is spread on the Internet now, but the Holy Mother. The mother is really great. I wanted to cry a little when I read it. I was very moved. The author's unique narrative style made the story very suspenseful. I was very surprised when I finally learned the truth, but it seemed It is also very traceable and a very nice book. Girls must protect themselves and love themselves. Just like Sister Bu (Bu Jingyun) said, chastity is nothing. Don't let something that is nothing trap you. This is a very valuable book. It was recommended by bloggers and I was very shocked after reading it🌹🌹🌹

The twist is really great. The author has hidden a lot of details before. Don't read the comments in the middle of reading the book, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable to be spoiled (•̩̩̩̩＿•̩̩̩̩). Mother is really a great and glorious person!!!

At first, when I saw the title of the book, I thought it was uninteresting. However, when I read the book, it was replaced by the author's three-dimensional narrative thinking, and I saw this grand feast of the Virgin through several different perspectives. Makoto is a girl, which opened up all the situations, and the things she dealt with after the case mentioned above have laid deep foreshadowing. Mother is the greatest creature in the world. She can sacrifice everything to protect her children. The images of the two mothers in the article are gradually becoming fuller, and they are connected one by one under the clues of Xun. The author's writing style and narrative methods are very novel, and the subject matter is also very sublime. I was deeply impressed.

I haven't written a book review for a long time, so I'll write it in a general way. After reading the book "The Holy Mother" over and over again, I can only marvel at the narrative techniques and the exquisite foreshadowing. After reading it and thinking about it carefully, I felt really touched in my heart. The author uses a lot of rhetoric and paragraphs to describe their psychological activities, so that people can understand and even accept why they step into the abyss. Two almost crazy mothers use extreme methods to protect their daughters. These two twisted maternal loves sprouted from the soil of hell and were irrigated with holy water. One is a mother who is overly obsessed with childbearing and has a distorted maternal love, but believes that her daughter is higher than life and above everything else. One is an overprotective mother who projects her own misfortune onto her daughter. Obviously they are cruel, but you can understand their actions. With an open ending, I prefer them to be caught. Because there are too many doubts in the case process, and the methods are also very immature. Moreover, they have an inseparable connection with the last victim. It is difficult to clear the suspicion, but it is hard to say whether tangible evidence can be found. The word DNA appears constantly in the novel. I think it is not meaningless foreshadowing. The police will definitely discover their secret, it is only a matter of time. All in all, this is a novel worth reading in one sitting. The author has a strong sense of rhythm, and the ending does not make people feel like it has stopped, but pushes the story to another climax. I have always agreed with this point of view: as a means of narrative in mystery novels, if there is only a reversal in the end and it has no effect on the depth of the story, atmosphere shaping and character image, then the narrative is mediocre, just a pure guessing game or a show of skills. And "The Holy Mother" takes the original extreme maternal love to a higher level through narrative trickery. This is the use of narrative trickery that people cannot criticize.

A very wonderful plot, cleverly avoiding every point that allows readers to guess the truth, Makoto's gender, the relationship between the three people, who did the secondary processing... An open ending, I hope the two mothers can live well.

Because I have heard about the author's name for a long time, the murder of a boy started my thinking about the name of this book "The Virgin". When I first read it, from Honami's morbid obsession with having children to Makoto's direct murder of two children, I lamented that this book actually has no interesting content. I continued reading because of the author's reputation, but the subsequent change in identity (no spoilers here), is really amazing, and the concept is exquisite. The foreshadowing cannot be seen as foreshadowing. You can only understand it if you look back and think about it. It will definitely take a second reading to realize how this book uses perspective to deceive you. This is true narrative trickery, and the queen of narrative trickery is truly worthy of the title. Btw, mother is really great. The overall plot echoes the name of the Virgin. It's wonderful. It's really wonderful. It's worthy of being the Virgin. It's the ending I like.

It was so well written and the ending really surprised me. At the beginning, I thought it was all laid out and there was something easy to reason about and guess, but the twist at the end gave me a new surprise. She is worthy of being the queen of guile, and she is worthy of the name guile. Although there are spoilers in the comments that the reversal is related to gender, every reversal gives me new surprises. My language is too barren, as many people have described it. Such twisted and heavy love, as well as the tenderness revealed at the end, give this work a special temperament. It has both surprising twists and turns that moved me. This is truly the most surprising work I have seen recently.

The twists and turns in this book are really awesome. I was led by the author all the time, and I didn't understand everything until the last chapter. The author's narrative technique is very special (narrative technique). She focuses on the description from the perspective of two women, but the text does not make people feel that there is any connection between the two. Moreover, the author deliberately blurred the gender, which also added a strong touch to the final reversal. From the previous description, I feel that Makoto's family is actually pretty good. I have never understood why Makoto is so bitchy. It was only after reading the article that I understood that one infringement has a lifelong impact. As for Honami, I really feel that we need to be more cautious when entering into marriage. It is precisely because of the man's lack of attention and lack of care for the woman that makes Honami so obsessed with the child that she even allowed her daughter to give birth under those circumstances. I don't deny the brilliance of women, but it's really not a wise move in that situation. Regarding the protection of my daughter, I really admire the intuition and greatness of women. I am so brave that I can fight against everything for her.

Don't read the comments until you've seen the ending! Don't read the comments! Don't read the comments! Important things are mentioned three times. The comments contain spoilers, which will seriously affect the mood of watching the ending. The plot is not complicated, but it is really exciting. When I saw the ending, my brain really boomed, and I felt that the fog in front of it was cleared away, and the events became smoother from chaos. I highly recommend watching it. You can finish it in about 3 hours.

After reading it, I was very, very shocked... I can only say that the narrative technique is really strong. I couldn't help but read a few comments in the middle, and it was spoiled. I felt that the viewing experience was not that good, so I recommend not to open comments and read. Just from the story itself... I feel that life is really great... I read the last few pages back and forth several times before I finally figured it out... It's a really awesome story. But thinking about it carefully, I still don't agree with some of Honami's practices... It may be that she herself had difficulty getting pregnant, which made her thoughts about giving birth to life gradually become sickly and distorted. When I read the first few chapters, I felt that the husband's role in giving birth to children was far weaker than that of the wife. The author writes Honami's "anxiety" and "uneasiness" very well... It makes readers feel very worried when they read it. Let me sigh that maternal love is great and so is life. In addition, I feel that Sakaguchi and Tanizaki also particularly like the explanation of male and female rights in this line, and it is natural to touch on gender issues. A very recommended book!

This book made me sigh more than once, it is almost perfect. The charm may be that, even if the previous comments give me almost enough spoilers, I will still be shocked. Everyone is so alive. The book is called The Holy Mother, but the characters and plots in the book always make me blurt out, "This is the real Holy Mother." The book perfectly demonstrates the differences between mothers, women, and men and women. The writing is delicate, with numerous foreshadowings, many twists and turns, and a compact plot. I'm thinking if I hadn't read this book, I would have missed out on so much great stuff. "The Holy Mother" is amazing

It is the best mystery novel I have read this year, and it is easier to understand than traditional Japanese mystery novels. However, it is amazing. The key timeline is blurred and weakened by fragmentary events. Of course, you can find it if you taste it carefully. For example, regarding the surnames of Honami and her husband, after all, Japanese people generally do not only have first names, and Japanese women will take their husbands' surnames when they get married, so it is easy to connect them with Tanaka Makoto, but Kaoru is also a point that easily makes people deny themselves. The breakthrough for me was when Makoto's mother said, "As long as Makoto can be happy." Maybe it's related to the works I've seen before. I feel that the Japanese have a special definition of "happiness". It's precisely because of this that it's easy to be addicted in anime and other works (in my personal opinion). Combined with the previous foreshadowing, Honami's intense emotions towards the hard-won child can be matched. Finally, as a lover of two-word titles, this title is really great! That alone deserves full marks!

It's so cool, a great suspense novel. I watched other people's videos recommended by them, and the comment section there was all saying that the twist at the end was exciting, so I tried my best to guess the murderer, because the fact that Makoto was the mastermind and the real murderer was definitely stated, so there must be an accomplice. Halfway through, I was sure that the accomplice was Makoto's mother. I only thought so much. I didn't expect that the ending would turn out to be three generations living together, and I didn't even expect that Makoto was a woman. But the main reason was that the author deliberately misled me. The logic of the whole case is quite clear, and the various methods of committing the crime are explained, which is very reasonable. However, the ending of Makoto's mother, Honami, who framed Hideki is quite vague. However, after all, there is no follow-up, and Honami will probably still be found out, but the story has ended at the right place, which is quite satisfactory. It is highly recommended to watch it a second time. If you watch many plots again, you will find that the starting point of the perspective has changed.

The author's plot arrangement is very clever, deliberately revealing only the tip of the iceberg, while the other part is like a secret hidden in the shadows. This novel is very different from ordinary suspense novels: there are only a handful of characters, there are no grand stage scenes, and there are no brain-burning high-IQ crimes. But when I read it at the end, I still felt like I had a sudden realization. When I read it from the beginning, I found that there would be a lot of foreshadowing that had already been hinted at. When you read it for the first time, you can skim it if you feel it is very dull (of course, if you want to find clues to make a bold guess about the ending), then the pace becomes faster and the words are profound, so you can read it slowly and carefully.

It's relatively short, but very exciting. The twist at the ending is simply unexpected. But after watching the ending, if you go back and look at some of the previous details, you will find that it is actually foreshadowed, reasonable, and a masterpiece.

This book is so awesome, and the twists and turns are wonderful. You feel like you already know the truth at the beginning, but in fact, after reading it, you will find that the author's logic is too strong. Very good suspense novel

This novel is quite good in terms of plot design. It uses cases to write suspense, especially in many details, which are breathtaking. For example, in the part of the plot where Makoto got a scratch on his face, one detail is that Makoto's mother "can't take her eyes off" Staring at Makoto's face, this also paved the way for her to destroy evidence for Makoto again later, because she discovered that Makoto's face seemed to have been scratched, but looking at this detail alone, it seemed normal, and this is the highlight of this novel. Moreover, this novel constantly solves doubts one by one in every detail, and it seems to go with the flow. Compared with the design of suddenly solving the doubts with a big twist, the feeling obtained through many small twists will make people feel more subtle. Although both will be impressive, the second impression will make people constantly connect the details when recalling the plot of this novel, making the overall impression clearer when they think of reading this novel.

After reading this book, my heart couldn't calm down for a long time. The book's profound interpretation of maternal love and discussion of complex human nature made me want to write something. The story opens with a brutal child murder, a suspense that quickly grabs the reader's attention. As the plot of the novel progresses, three seemingly independent story lines gradually intertwine, outlining a truth full of surprises and shocks. The author cleverly uses narrative tricks to make readers constantly misjudge during the reading process. It is not until the truth is finally revealed that the readers are surprised to notice the overlooked details. What moved me most in the book was the ultimate portrayal of maternal love. Honami went through hardships to have a daughter, and this hard-won love made her willing to sacrifice everything for her daughter. Every anxiety and decision she makes stems from her deep desire to protect her daughter. This kind of maternal love is both gentle protection and firm defense. It does not flinch even when faced with the boundaries of morality and law. (We all need to be good citizens who abide by laws and regulations) I think "The Virgin" is not only a wonderful mystery novel, but also a profound work about love, humanity and justice. It made me understand that in the subtleties of human nature, there are both the darkest sins and the greatest love. Highly recommend this book! ! ![Send heart][Send heart][Send heart][Like][Like][Like]

It was my first time to read a suspense mystery novel, and it was a great experience. When I first read the first three chapters, I felt that the perspective was a bit confusing, but after three chapters, I understood that the characters that appeared were all related to the child murder case. At first I thought Honami was a little nervous and overly nervous, but after seeing it, I suddenly realized. The author is also very ingenious in plot design, and is always led to think in the wrong direction... However, it is recommended to turn off the paragraph comments, because some people will spoil the story. The moment their relationship was revealed, my hair stood on end. I had goosebumps most of the night. The blank space at the end is also very good and invites speculation. After reading the full text, the content matches the title of the book very well. It describes women's selfless dedication and infinite tenderness for their children, which is very touching.

Very, very, very, very worth reading. The author is so good at writing. It is interlocking and fascinating. I was so moved after reading it. Great maternal love, holy mother. When I read the ending, I immediately understood why the book is called The Holy Mother. It is the best book I have read so far this year. In fact, the story is very simple, but the author's writing skills are really powerful. After reading the ending, you will find that there is love between the lines. I suggest that you do not read the comments when you read it for the first time. Some people are quarreling in it, and there are spoilers about hateful people.

I read what I recommended, and I was really impressed by how wonderful it was at the end. I was suspicious of all the characters that appeared in the middle, including the boy who confessed his love to Makoto. I guessed that the plot was also worried about the neurotic eldest mother, fearing that she would really lose her daughter because she killed her by mistake in the end, so I watched anxiously. When I read the last chapter, I suspected that I had read it wrong earlier. It was when Makoto went to pick up her daughter. From this point on, I slowly started to explain and suddenly realized. Looking back on the previous details, everything is connected and logical. Of course, if you look back again, you will definitely find more details. Highly recommended! Look!

I saw it recommended in a short video. The writing of the narrative trick is very powerful. Although I have basically guessed it in the middle, I still felt very powerful when it was revealed in the end. I was heartbroken by Makoto's experience. I can emotionally understand what Makoto and her mother did, and even felt relieved, but it is undeniable that this is illegal after all. I sincerely hope that they can truly stay away from the haze in the future and start a new life. I didn't understand the meaning of the title of the book "The Holy Mother" at first, but after reading it, I realized that even if I am paranoid, even if the method is not necessarily correct, maternal love is really great, and it shocked me.

Readers who have not started reading are advised not to read the comments and hide the comments while reading. There are infuriating oppositional remarks and a lot of spoilers in the comments. I hope readers will have a good reading experience. After reading it, I exhaled a long breath. It was really depressing. It is a great work, and it also has a very wonderful narrative. The author's writing is somewhat unexpectedly spicy, and it also has the unique delicacy of Japanese writers. To put it bluntly, it feels a bit verbose. Three seemingly independent perspectives are used to narrate the story in turn. As the plot develops and blends together, they become inseparable from each other and become closer and closer. The hidden foreshadowing is gradually discovered until the truth is revealed. The work is worth watching, even if I don't like it personally. I find it wonderful and a little annoying at the same time. It's really a complicated emotion. Let's talk about a slightly spoiler-y topic. I personally hate to put the cloak of love on crime. Crime is crime. Wrong things cannot be sugar-coated with love and become right. They are themselves a different kind of arsenic. The role of fathers is lacking in both generations. Honami's obsession with becoming a mother has become so crazy that she regards pregnancy as sacred, and even forced her fourteen-year-old daughter to give birth to a rapist's child, greatly ignoring her daughter's pain. Such twisted emotions are really horrifying. Love is great, but it should not be associated with killing.

It is very exciting. Although it is not long, it brings great shock to the readers. It is in line with the characteristics of Japanese mystery novels. The language is concise and clear, but it can directly touch people's hearts. The conception is exquisite. Highly recommended to everyone.

Awesome! ! ! ! The author's writing style always has a characteristic of feminine glory. The people in the story each have their own difficulties and reasons, which are intertwined into one story. When I saw the ending, I really wanted to make a decision! ! ! ! ! Great article! ! ! ! There is no so-called male bonding, there are only plots from a female perspective, and the description of the bad side of men is also very good without making people feel too disgusting, but they can clearly recognize this side of men. Nowadays, we are living in a patriarchal society, where men are usually in high positions, so you may be more or less afraid of men or make blind assumptions, but after reading this, it will give you some insights and perhaps disenchantment.

It's really a narrative. The whole story uses vague details to allow readers to use their imaginations. The final revelation of the mystery makes people enlightened. What surprised me in the end was that Honami is Makoto's mother, and Makoto is Kaoru's mother. As mothers, they use their own ways to protect their daughters. Maternal love is the greatest existence in the world!
