Więcej o książce

On a frosty New Year's Eve, Izumi finds his mother wandering in a park. It is one of the first days when Yuriko begins to forget her son. Despite the demands of work and the impending arrival of a child, Izumi dedicates much of his time to his mother, who is increasingly struggling with memory loss and disorientation. At the same time, he revisits childhood events, particularly the haunting memory of Yuriko's sudden disappearance. Gradually, he uncovers the silenced truth about the past. "One Hundred Flowers" is an intimate family story that highlights how dementia is a distinct and painfully personal experience for each of the millions affected, as well as their loved ones. There is not always enough time to understand the past and come to terms with it.
