Abstract

Takayo Fukabuchi, a cosmetic surgeon who runs a clinic named after the Virgin Maria and also attracts attention for her charity work, has a past that she has sealed away. Betrayed by the love of her life, and preyed upon by those who try to save her, she is in the depths of despair when a man who knows her past appears, saying, "I've been thinking about you for a long time.” When she buries her love in an attempt to climb out of the darkness, good and evil are reversed within her... The lives of those who are forced to fall from the world are depicted through the evil that everyone may fall into. What is the meaning of death? This is the latest work by the author who won the 10th Nikkei Novel Award for "Kyouka," which depicted the bare desires of human beings.
