In two years, my mother-in-law will die.
A new family novel that depicts the true feelings of "family" in a raw and realistic way.
≪What exactly is family?≫ In 2020, the elderly aged 65 and over accounted for more than 30% of the Japanese population. Social security costs continued to break records, pushing national finances to the brink of collapse. The government finally made a major decision. They passed the Seventy-Year-Old Death Law, which states that "citizens aged 70 and over with Japanese nationality must die within 30 days of their birthday." One day, with the law set to take effect in two years, small changes began to occur in the Takarada family, a very ordinary household. The wife, about to be freed from caring for her mother-in-law; the carefree husband, who leaves all household matters to his wife; the son, who graduated from a top-tier university but failed to find employment and is now a shut-in; the daughter, who fled from a family on the verge of collapse; and the grandmother, who is bedridden and completely self-indulgent. They are the closest people, the ones who should understand each other more than anyone, so why doesn't anyone understand this pain? What is "family" when revealed by this ultimate law? A highly anticipated author delivers a raw and realistic new family novel.
