It was originally published in twelve parts in the Japanese literary monthly Gunzo, between 1978 and 1979, each chapter marking the months in real time, and remains one of Yuko Tsushima's most beloved works.'Wonderfully poetic ... extraordinary freshness ... a Virginia Woolf quality' Margaret Drabble
