I absolutely loved this! The story & characters are well developed. It was wonderful watching the dynamics form between three women from very different backgrounds as they settle into Japan. I loved the exploration of placelessness Nao experiences, the lost life’s path feeling from Tina, and Hyejung’s feeling trapped in her old life. It was also fun trying to work my way through the Japanese text, but having the english text to support me.
