2000s: Yayoi feels she’s forgotten something important about her past….
Premonition
What you need to know before your trail
Yayoi lives with her perfect, loving family – something ‘like you’d see in a Spielberg movie’. But while her parents tell happy stories of her childhood, she is increasingly haunted by the sense that she’s forgotten something important about her past.
Deciding to take a break, she stays with her eccentric but beloved aunt Yukino. Living a life without order, Yukino seems to be protecting herself, but beneath this facade Yayoi starts to recover lost memories, and everything she knows about her past threatens to change forever.
Travel Guide
Japan
A few locations and all of them dreamy and used to show the whimsical and ethereal journey the main character goes on to find herself and establish the kind of familial love that is evident in the novel.
We hear about the weather, the streets, the places she goes but this is secondary to the story of her search for love and acceptance. There is a dreamy feeling to the journey here.
