(u. S.) Nan Rossiter And Others
The close-knit Quinn siblings get together every summer at their country house. Their cheerful figures remained there until tragedy struck that summer when the sky was filled with fireflies - they lost their seven-year-old brother. The four sisters all blame themselves for the death of their brother, and they spend their long lives with guilt and sadness. Decades later, as their bodies grew weaker and each shouldered the burdens of their families and cared for their aging parents, they supported each other and rarely mentioned the scars of their childhoods. Until one evening, when they were sitting on the top of a mountain watching the sunset, fireflies lingered around them, and the regret, guilt, and secrets of that summer burst out! We all lie. Sometimes, a small lie can snowball and eventually have fatal consequences. Five-year-old Emmabella told her mother that a boy named Kigi choked her in kindergarten. This accusation easily broke through everyone's disguise, caused antagonism among parents in the school, evolved into horrific scandals, and even triggered a bizarre murder case that has many different opinions.
