This volume doesn't get to any relationship stuff yet really, the women get to know each other, and Hinako looks at who she actually dresses up for and other stuff. And finally someone makes her heart skip a beat. They meet outside work when Hinako is having a cry about her situation and after sharing doughnuts and talking, they start to hang out together a bit, and Hinako starts thinking maybe she can and will do something about her life. Others think she is cold and don't approach her but Hinako thinks she's cool. She also keeps up this cheery, feminine, has-lunch-in-cafes persona but it doesn't feel completely like herself either.Īsahi Satou is calm, collected and good and efficient at work and isn't bothered to eat her lunch alone or let their boss' remarks get to her. But she can't fall in love and even though the guys she goes on dates with are polite and nice, she can't see herself with them. Hinako Uno feels pressure of the society hard on her shoulders: everything and everybody tells her she should find a man for herself.

Before Yera could cover her smile, the younger children came. Struggling to breathe, I pressed my palm over the spoiled flowers, as if I could hide the damage. Sorcadia blossoms lay flattened, their juicy red centers already drying on the ground. That morning, one sun before Oma Day, my bare heels slipped in bright gold and orange paste. My story begins when my world ended, the day my sister shoved me into the ancestors’ altar. It begins as all stories must, with an ending. None would eat before the ancestors were fed, for it was through their blood and toil we emerged from the dark sea to be.īut that was then, and this is now, and we are another tale. We rubbed ebony-stained oil on their braided hair and placed them on the altars with the first harvest, the nuts and the fresh fruit. We carved the ancestors from the scented wood, before the fire and the poison water took them, too. Their backs were straight and their temples tall. In the beginning were the ancestors, gods of earth who breathed the air and walked in flesh. At the close of the Civil War I found myself without a home, without money and without work. I can only tell of the ten years my dead body lay undiscovered in an Arizona cave. I know the human mind will not believe what it cannot understand. I who have died two times and am still alive.
