What a beautiful, delicate book about loss, grief, and finding a way to carry on.When Yui loses her mother and young daughter to the 2011 tsunami in Japan, she’s not sure how to find a path through the pain.One day, she hears a man speak of a phone booth on a windy hill overlooking the sea. A phone booth in one of the hardest hit areas. A phone booth with a phone that’s connected to nothing. The grieving are invited to come, to speak to the wind, to share messages with their loved ones.And so Yui makes a pilgrimage to the phone booth. She can’t bring herself to go in — and won’t for years — but she meets a widower there, Takeshi, who comes to speak to the wife he lost, to try to find a way to connect with his daughter who has stopped speaking in the grief of losing her mother.Yui and Takeshi continue to go, meeting others who come to speak to mothers, husbands, children and friends. Sharing their stories.What happens, what unfolds over the course of several years, is both magical and heartbreaking.“Yui came to understand that there was always joy somewhere within unhappiness.”It’s so beautiful. Everyone should read it.

A beautiful novel. Bought it to cope with the grief after losing my mother in March 2023. The writing has a calm, quiet and sensitive vibe while exploring the grief journey with sadness, love and memories.

I was overwhelmed reading this book, author has done tremendous job not only with story but also with all the emotions flowing in the book and it did really connected me, it’s moving, its healing, it gives hope to start again, It’s just so beautiful. Go read for yourself,not giving in much of the spoilers.Also the quality of the book was up to the mark.
