Simply put, it’s a love story with a classic trajectory: Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy finds girl.
The I-narrator of the opening prologue, presented rather like an author’s note, sets up a revealing frame for the love story to come even as he inserts, then immediately elides himself.
Hirano returns with an overwrought novel of love and longing.
