Makiko has traveled to Tokyo in search of an affordable breast enhancement procedure. She is accompanied by Midoriko\, who has recently grown silent\, finding herself unable to voice the vague yet overwhelming pressures associated with growing up. Her silence proves a catalyst for each woman to confront her fears and frustrations. \nOn another hot summer’s day ten years later\, Natsu\, on a journey back to her native city\, struggles with her own indeterminate identity as she confronts anxieties about growing old alone and childless. (book description from Amazon.ca) \nJFT Library’s copy of the book is available for circulation.
