Abstract
The first English translation of a full-length novel by award-winning Japanese author Tomoyuki Hoshino. What happens when a popular and young emperor suddenly dies, and the only person available to succeed him is his sister? How can people in an island country survive as climate change and martial law is eroding more and more opportunities for local sustainability and mutual aid? These and other provocative questions provide the backdrop for this powerful novel about young adults caught up in the fast-paced life of modern Japan.
