This was such a sweet story of first grader Chiaki and how she struggles to adapt to her life after her father's death. Her mother lost and inconsolable following his death begins to ride the trains with Chiaki. It was on one of these very trips where the Poplar House with its room for rent. 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.
