Favorite quotes: “Sometimes she cried, sometimes she laughed, because life could still be funny, even after a tragedy.”

“It isn't just the best things that come to an end, but also the worst.”

From the publisher: Laura Imai Messina’s international bestselling novel is a story about grief, mourning, and the joy of survival, inspired by a real phone booth in Japan with its disconnected “wind” phone, a place of pilgrimage and solace since the 2011 tsunami.
