The book tells two stories in parallel, which is slightly closer by strange similarities. Tengo: a solitary thirties who is happy to be a math teacher in preparatory classes because he likes math, but more importantly, this business gives him the freedom to pursue his other passion: writing. So far he has not published even if it is in close contact with a publisher that advises in his writing. The latter also asked to rewrite the novel received from a girl, Fukaéri, 17, dyslexic and mysterious ... Aomamé: young single woman and also very lonely, teacher of martial arts officially, but unofficially professional killer. His childhood was marked by difficult relations with his parents, followers of Witnesses (of Jeovah) and she is cut off from the world after the death of her best friend ...
As in the book (we alternate a chapter for Tengo, a chapter for Aomamé), we discover the intriguing story of the young Fukaéri and motivations of Aomamé ... all this in an atmosphere that is becoming stranger, with some supernatural details.
I was held spellbound, and marched pages plus it was hard to leave. I really want to read more.
