A beautiful modern fable about friendship and parent-child relationships that is deceptively calming and relaxed in the first three quarters but is intense and rather dark towards the end. While the film adaptation is definitely more emotional and less slice-of-life, this one was still such a delight to read—a perfect read to soothe one's nerves.
