After Saga has a series of seizures, she finds herself lost in a fog that turns out to be her life.

This was an incredibly well-written book that really immersed the reader in the world of Saga. It was confusing to read just as it was confusing for Saga to live. I enjoyed it immensely, even though I still feel so confused by it.

I must also so that the translation seems to be quite well done. It flows poetically, which you don’t often see with translated works.
