\"Clarissa Goenawan's dark, spellbinding literary debut opens with a murder and shines a spotlight onto life in fictional small-town Japan. Ren Ishida is nearly finished with graduate school when he receives news of his sister, Keiko's, sudden death. She was viciously stabbed one rainy night on her way home, and there are no leads. Ren heads to Akakawa to conclude his sister's affairs, still failing to understand why she chose to abandon the family and Tokyo for this desolate town years ago. But Ren soon finds himself picking up where Keiko left off, accepting both her teaching position at a local cram school and the bizarre arrangement of free lodging at a wealthy politician's mansion in exchange for reading to the man's catatonic wife. As he comes to know the figures in Akakawa, from the enigmatic politician to his fellow teachers and a rebellious, alluring student named Rio, Ren delves into his shared childhood with Keiko and what followed, trying to piece together what happened the night of her death. Haunted in his dreams by a young girl who is desperately trying to tell him something, Ren struggles to find solace in the void his sister has left behind\"-- Provided by publisher.

Introduction
Late in her life, only months before her death in March 1888, Louisa May Alcott wrote her own recollections of her childhood. These were happy memories. Hard times appeared glossed over: no mention of the Fruitlands failure that almost broke up the family, only a passing nod to the Temple School episode that effectively ended her father’s teaching career. Now in her mid-fifties, these days were only memories to the prolific author. Her mother, Abigail, and her two younger sisters, Elizabeth and May, were dead; her father, Bronson, had suffered a paralytic stroke five years earlier, leaving him partially paralyzed.
