A mother and daughter come from abroad to meet in Tokyo. In the evenings they stroll through the streets, shelter from the rain, eat in cozy cafés, and visit galleries. All this time they talk about the weather, horoscopes, clothes, and other everyday things—and also reflect on family, distance, and memory. But the real purpose of their trip remains hidden. Jessica Au’s novella is a meditation on love, the search for answers to eternal questions, and an attempt to understand another person’s inner world.
