“I wonder if my husband wanted to die or if he disappeared because he wanted to live. It’s also possible that life and death were outside his thoughts.” This is what Kei is speaking, a woman who lives with her mother and teenage daughter. Her husband disappeared without a trace twelve years ago. Over time, she found a lover, Seiji, but her husband’s presence fills her innermost fibers and he refuses to abandon her. Manazuru: this mysterious word is the only clue the husband left in his diary, and the starting point for the search for meaning on the Japanese peninsula of the same name. The reader will find themselves accompanied by ghosts in a profound, memorable, and sensual exploration of love, in a world of evocations of the most delicate subtlety, on a boat that hangs on the horizon and seeks to caress the intimate skin of feelings.
