A young girl in Tokyo, contemplating ending her life, instead decides to chronicle the life of her centenarian Buddhist nun great-grandmother.

This inventive novel beautifully weaves together themes of time, memory, and the interconnectedness of lives, perfect for readers who enjoy philosophical explorations wrapped in compelling narratives.
