「『現代』と『神話』の同居しているところに作品の愉悦がある」──毎日新聞・田中和生氏
「最も力のある作品」「悲しみに折れない人間の手応えが伝わってくる」──東京新聞・沼野充義氏
「すべてのものを飲み込んでしまうおおらかなたゆたいの中で、小さな粒を、一つのメルヘンとも呼べる澄んだ真珠に育て上げた。」──読売新聞・待田晋哉氏
など、各紙文芸時評で絶賛された傑作!
三十五になるさなえは、幼い息子の希敏をつれてこの海辺の小さな集落に戻ってきた。希敏の父、カナダ人のフレデリックは希敏が一歳になる頃、美しい顔立ちだけを息子に残し、母子の前から姿を消してしまったのだ。何かのスイッチが入ると引きちぎられたミミズのようにのたうちまわり大騒ぎする息子を持て余しながら、さなえが懐かしく思い出したのは、九年前の「みっちゃん姉」の言葉だった──。九年の時を経て重なり合う二人の女性の思い。痛みと優しさに満ちた〈母と子〉の物語。

What is ZenPlus?
ZenPlus is an online shopping platform connecting Japan with the rest of the world. We're part of the ZenGroup, Inc. umbrella in Osaka, Japan.

Are items authentic?
Our sellers' agreement fully compels all stores to list only authentic items. We help you buy exclusive and authentic items from Japan, online!

Do you ship to my country?
We ship to all countries where Japan Post air freight services and international couriers currently operate. We don't use surface mail.

How long does shipping take?
Domestic shipments generally reach our warehouse in a few days, but may in certain specific cases take a week or more. International shipments can take anywhere from several days to several weeks to reach you after leaving our warehouse, depending on if you choose Standard or Express shipping.
Please contact our support team from the Questions section on your account page if you have any questions about the timing of your parcel.

How much is shipping?
Shipping costs depend on the size, weight, and destination of your parcel. We provide shipping costs for your order at checkout.

Will I be charged a customs (import) fee?
It depends on your country and its customs regulations. Our service does not cover duties and import taxes — in general, if the customs office in your country applies charges to your package, you are required to pay them.
