About This Book

The protagonist, Inari, endures persistent anxiety born of a turbulent childhood and a strained household, and waits obsessively for a lover whose absence intensifies her isolation. After her father's self-inflicted death leaves financial and reputational ruin, she is confined by a stern mother's expectations and seeks escape through study, art-dreams, and tentative relationships. The narrative traces her inner restlessness, indecision, and recurring patterns of longing, fear, and small betrayals, portraying episodic love affairs, social withdrawal, and the tension between a yearning for tenderness and an inability to commit.
