Four-year-old Manami, the daughter of teacher Yuko Moriguchi, has died. Her body was found in the school pool. The tragedy was ruled an accident—the mother hadn’t watched her child… The last day of the term is coming—and it will be the last day of Yuko at work. She gathers her class and tells the children the truth about what happened. Her daughter’s death was no accident. The girl was killed by two students from this class. Yuko knows this—and today she will teach them the final lesson. A lesson of truly devilish revenge… On this day, everyone will be forced to make their confession—and no one will be left unpunished… This is a masterfully written, powerful, piercing novel about the consequences of the most destructive human diseases—fear, hatred, and loneliness.
