Heartwarming drama, so beautiful.
In our mundane world of everyday life amid a time of decline swept along by a great current—“Northward ” unfolds at a gentle pace, its prose fresh and flowing like the steady trickle in an ordinary person’s life. It allows us to occasionally catch glimpses of light and shadow in the routine of daily life. Heavy like a descending night, it nevertheless emits a faint glow; the tones are deep and full of tension.
It has been a journey of the soul. In the “sea mirror” conjured by the atmosphere, I felt the canal’s warmth. Those writings, which speak from the perspective of bystanders rather than participants, are mostly detached, yet they embed themselves within it all the same... Good watch.
