There is some minor soiling around the cover, but the inside is in beautiful condition. Fate takes away the person you love twice. Heisuke Sugita, a 39-year-old working at an auto parts manufacturer, lived with his wife Naoko and their fifth-grade daughter, Manami. A ski bus carrying his wife and daughter to his wife's family home in Nagano plunges off a cliff. On the night of his wife's funeral, the one who awakens in his daughter's body is his wife, who should have been dead. From that day on, the Sugita family's poignant and strange "secret" life began. His wife, who looks like an elementary school student but does housework as usual, eventually decides she wants to live a new life instead of Manami, taking the entrance exam for a private middle school, and then taking the entrance exam for a co-ed high school, aiming for medical school. As she gets older, the shadows of men appear around her, and Heisuke begins to struggle with his relationship with her, who is both his wife and his daughter. This is Keigo Higashino's breakthrough work, which was a hot topic as the 1998 Best Mystery, and was made into a movie starring Ryoko Hirosue and a TV drama starring Mirai Shida. A legendary bestseller with over 2 million copies sold. Publisher: Bungeishunju (May 10, 2001) Release Date: May 10, 2001 Language: Japanese Paperback: 452 pages
