Description
'A tender med­ita­tion on memory, familial bonds, and the evan­es­cence of every­ day moments ... a profoundly affect­ing read' - Storizen Magazine 'A believable slice-of-life window into human nature that resonates on multiple levels' - The Japan Times FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE JAPANESE BESTSELLER IF CATS DISAPPEARED FROM THE WORLD WHICH HAS SOLD OVER TWO MILLION COPIES The fragrance of a single stem in a vase. The shimmering reflection of fireworks in a lake. The quiet of a bookshop as evening falls. The feeling of opening a brand-new diary and beginning to write ... Moments of beauty endure. But what happens when you begin to forget? Yuriko leads a quiet, orderly life as a piano teacher. It's New Year's Eve and her grown-up son Izumi comes to visit. Yuriko makes him his favourite meal: omelette and hayashi rice. Together, they look like a normal family. But Yuriko has a secret. Many years earlier, when Izumi was a boy, Yuriko suddenly disappeared for an entire year. She returned, but the lost year was never discussed. Now as Yuriko begins to lose her memory, Izumi is forced to race against time as he seeks the truth behind this long-buried mystery. Will he learn to understand the woman his mother once was, before it is too late? And is he ready to become a father himself? One Hundred Flowers is a story about the preciousness of every moment, the beauty and pain of family love, and the healing power of letting go. Translated by Cathy Hirano.
