Synopsis

Three half-Japanese, half-British sisters reunite for a summer in their childhood home on the Japanese coast, drawn together by a family scandal. As they navigate domestic life with their sharp-edged grandmother and care for a young son, they carefully avoid discussing their mother's disappearance fifteen years prior. This tender novel explores the complexities of family bonds, love, and loss as the sisters confront their shared past.
