Summary:
"Yayoi, a 19-year-old woman from a seemingly loving middle-class family, has lately been haunted by the feeling that she has forgotten something important from her childhood. Her premonition grows stronger day by day and, as if led by it, she decides to move in with her mysterious aunt, Yukino. No one understands her aunt's unusual lifestyle. For as long as Yayoi can remember, Yukino has lived alone in an old gloomy single-family home, quietly, almost as though asleep. When she is not working, Yukino spends all day in her pajamas, clipping her nails and trimming her split ends. She eats only when she feels like it, and she often falls asleep lying on her side in the hallway. A child study desk, old stuffed animals -- things Yukino wants to forget -- are piled up in her backyard like a graveyard of her memories. Living her life without order and rules, Yukino seeks to protect herself from the passage of time. As she adapts to life with Yukino, Yayoi's damaging but precious memories gradually resurface."--Provided by publisher.
