University sophomore Miwako Sumida has hanged herself, leaving those closest to her reeling. In the months before her suicide, she was hiding away in a remote mountainside village, but what, or whom, was she running from? Expanding on the beautifully crafted world of Rainbirds, Clarissa Goenawan gradually pierces through a young woman's careful facade, unmasking her most painful secrets.

Enjoyed this a lot, a sort of literary whodunnit with some supernatural touches. If you enjoy Haruki Murakami, then this might be for you (if this makes it sound derivative, it's not meant to, even if there are parallels in the writing style).
