Saturn Return 1

Ritsuku Kaji wrote an award-winning novel before deciding to take care of her husband's household. A young publishing house employee and a phone call from the past cause the façade to crumble: A friend from her student days has died before he turned thirty. He had told her so at the time. She doesn't make it to the funeral, but her new editor challenges her and she sets off in search of clues - into her own life. Akane Torikai describes a young woman in modern Japanese society - with all its facets. How did she become who she is? Who decides her path? Who decides about her body? What does she want to achieve in her life? How could all this happen?
