Una strana presenza si aggira a casa di Misuzu, forse il preludio a una gravidanza o l’eco lontana di un passato doloroso. Mimi intanto continua a vivere la propria vita a Fukiage, immersa nell’atmosfera familiare della casa di Isamu e nella calma di quella cittadina stretta tra i monti e il mare. Un nuovo episodio della saga di Mimi e Kodachi, in cui ogni vicenda è lo spunto per una meditazione sul significato profondo della vita, sull’assenza e il suo contrario, sull’amicizia e sull’amore. “In questo periodo a casa mia c’è lo spirito di un bambino. Si manifesta la notte. È un bimbo piccolo, perciò sono certa che non sia la Misuzu nera. Né è il fantasma di mio fratello, che veglia sempre su di me.”

Banana Yoshimoto (よしもと ばなな or 吉本 ばなな) is the pen name of Mahoko Yoshimoto (吉本 真秀子), a Japanese contemporary writer. She writes her name in hiragana. (See also 吉本芭娜娜 (Chinese).) Along with having a famous father, poet Takaaki Yoshimoto, Banana's sister, Haruno Yoiko, is a well-known cartoonist in Japan. Growing up in a liberal family, she learned the value of independence from a young age. She graduated from Nihon University's Art College, majoring in Literature. During that time, she took the pseudonym "Banana" after her love of banana flowers, a name she recognizes as both "cute" and "purposefully androgynous." Despite her success, Yoshimoto remains a down-to-earth and obscure figure. Whenever she appears in public she eschews make-up and dresses simply. She keeps her personal life guarded, and reveals little about her certified Rolfing practitioner, Hiroyoshi Tahata and son (born in 2003). Instead, she talks about her writing. Each day she takes half an hour to write at her computer, and she says, "I tend to feel guilty because I write these stories almost for fun."
