Etsuko Hirata

A mixture of myth, energetic spirit, and every elements shows humans nature that we never can avoid in life. It is rhythmically written and interesting to follow the story.

Some parts of the plot are not well digested and it only shows what have happened as if the news come up through TV. At the beginning of the story the boy appears alone, injured and no one's home. It's just an unidentified mystery and nothing else at all. And his father used to be under the pressure given by his own father, and he was the one who's the worst treated by him among brothers.. It is not shown if there's any connection with what happened to his son and no mentioning after all about it, as well as the cause of death of his son is just implied in Judith's monologue. I like Agnes's character and easy to follow but totally what I see in the story is just something there has no point of view at the end.
