Description
[Machine Translation] Michiko is a young girl who transfers to Tokyo from a town under water due to the construction of a dam. The title of the book is a newly written short story, "Present," which is original to the collection. It depicts "what is important" through the pure feelings of a girl who meets a teacher at her new school, though she is hurt by poverty and distrust of her mother. The collection also includes "Shoes," a story told to her by an elderly room attendant at the Zushi Nagisa Hotel, "Evening Flowers" from her time in Kyoto, and "Reminiscences of a Journey," an early work that she recalls as "the starting point of my character portrayal" (afterword), as well as many heart-wrenching essays about encounters, partings and precious moments.
