The first time twelve-year-old Nami Matsuzaki meets her future husband, he's trying to save her from drowning in the river. That day, Naoki Izumisawa doesn't just save her life, he saves her heart. Years later, Nami not only begins to believe in love, she's starting to believe in forever. But a tragic accident threatens to change everything that she's known to be true. Despite her unimaginable grief, Nami returns to her hometown of Kasumi-machi to see the one person who can make things right again. But can eight years away really erase the past?
When her young daughter goes missing, Nami must find the courage to go on a journey that is as magical as it is heartbreaking, as difficult as it is redemptive if she ever wants to see her daughter again. And in the process, she learns that love isn't just a memory. It's real. And it's not just for now. It's forever.
In this dazzling debut, Mariko Miyake has woven a deep, page turning salve for anyone who has had to say goodbye. It's a story about how forgiveness is the only way forward. How love never dies. And how sometimes, you must be willing to face the darkness if you ever want to find the way home again.
The Weeping Field is a meditation on love that grabs your heart and never lets go.
