Review by the Emerald Street















Summary:It's a tale of a young Japanese woman who has lived away from Japan for some years and feels at home in London... Or rather, that was what she believed in until she encounters the sudden dearth of her father.Upon returning to Japan to attend the funeral and the subsequent little journey she takes, her emotions go through unexpected transformations.
