    This book! It's a period drama, simple and understated, very close to real life, with a strong sense of the era. It's set in 1970. The male lead is a pilot, and the female lead is very clear-headed. The male lead has secretly loved the female lead for many years, but he keeps his feelings buried in his heart until she breaks up with her boyfriend, at which point he begins to express his love. Their story unfolds gently, quietly, and very sweetly!
