Após um desastre no Japão se corta do resto do mundo. As crianças estão fracas e não conseguem andar ou ficar em pé, com os idosos sendo os únicos a conseguir se manter em pé. Mumei vive com seu bisavô Yoshiro, que se preocupa com ele. Mesmo para um garoto doente, ele é livre de pessimismo e oferece para seu bisavô “a esperança de um tempo bonito que continua para vir”.
Eu senti que a escrita do livro foi confusa, não era uma escrita ruim mas ao mesmo tempo dava a impressão de que muita coisa foi cortada ou que era para ser a introdução de um livro maior.
Recomendarei para quem quer ler algo rápido e meio magico em relação às pessoa e sua experiências mas já sabendo que minha opinião foi de um meio e final confuso.

De eerste driekwart van het boek ging nergens over, maar niet op een vervelende manier. Gewoon lekker rustig zeg maar. De laatste kwart ging dan weer mega snel en toen verloor de schrijfster me een beetje. Vond ik jammer.
Wel een heel origineel verhaal, ik denk alleen dat het einde op een veel betere manier geschreven had kunnen worden.
