Thou the landlady Mrs. Yanagi was adamant "No Children", she eventually relents and develelopse a relationship with Chiaki. Now Chiaki returns to. Poplar House for Mrs. Yagani's funeral and all her memeories. Beautifully written and timeless.

Això no es fa. No estava preparat per aquest final, quina plorera. 

Mort, mort i mort. Fins a 5 vegades apareix el tema. Però més que centrar-se en la mort, se centra en els que queden. Com es gestiona, com s'explica a un fill petit, com gestiines que se't suïcidi algú, com de diferent és la mort d'una persona gran... 

És a dir, no recomanable si esteu tovets. O si el tema us fa bola. Però és molt bonic.

Een heel mooi geschreven verhaal van een kind dat leert omgaan met verlies.
De auteur brengt je helemaal in de sfeer van Japanse dagelijkse leven.

¿Confirmamos que leer Kazumi Yumoto es una delicia?
Confirmamos.

El álamo no es ni el pasado ni el futuro, tampoco un sueño ni un espejismo. Es tan real que, por instante, se me queda la mente en blanco. El álamo nunca se inmuta por no tener un lugar adonde ir. Se limita a estar ahí. Y yo también estoy aquí.
