I wish for an ephemeral “happiness”…Despite being born into a family with unusual powers in it...
ongoing. romance, magic realism, historical fiction
miyo is the daughter of a wealthy family, though she is treated like a servant by her spiteful stepfamily. this cinderella-esque story is set in a japan on the cusp of change: mechanical cars run on dirt paths, and women have the option of wearing the traditional kimono or outlandish western clothes. in this bustle, miyo learns what it means to be cherished, and how much power there is in words. a sweet love story + great themes! 8/10
