Her new relationship with a married man-the antithesis of Rei-has brought her life to a numbing stasis, and her relationships with her mother and daughter have spilled into routine, day after day. Kei begins making repeated trips to the seaside town of Manazuru, a place that jogs her memory to a moment in time she can never quite locate. Her time there by the water encompasses years of unsteady footing and a developing urgency to find something.Through a poetic style embracing the surreal and grotesque, a quiet tenderness emerges from these dark moments. Manazuru is a meditation on memory-a profound, precisely delineated exploration of the relationships between lovers and family members.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51322915979552,"sku":"NEW1640090185","price":19.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71vZVi2_rsL.jpg?v=1773110250","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/manazuru-a-novel-1640090185","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
