Hitogata Nagashi

"Hitogata Nagashi" is a novel written by Kaoru Kitamura, Japanese writter. This novel was serialized on Asahi Shimbun in 2005~2006. I bought it because I had read it and interested by it when it serialized.

In this story, Chinami, Makiko and Mimi are friends that has shared important time since they are teenager each other. But Chinami has gotten awful sick.　In the serious sickness, Chinami thinks that the important thing what human needs on their lives is a friend ship among each persons.

This story moved me pretty. Especially, relationship between Makiko's husband and his stepdaughter, or a scene that parting between Chiaki and Makiko.

I would like to persuade to read this novel at once when you search something moving to read.
