Should he sell the shrine to his sister or to whoever will pay the right price for it? Or should he listen to Horiike-san, who has been like a parent to him, and to the insistent voice within his head—and heart—that is pushing him to do more, to take over the shrine and the family legacy?\u003cbr\u003e\nAs he discovers truths long hidden or forgotten, Kosuke finds himself torn between the life he had begun to think of as his future and the compulsive attraction of familiarity and old love.\u003cbr\u003e\nSensual and emotionally charged, this is a novel that transcends time and place while being deeply rooted in both.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAbout the Author\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nRadhika Jha is the author of three previous novels, Smell, Lanterns on Their Horns and My Beautiful Shadow, as well as a collection of stories, The Elephant and the Maruti.
