This long novel by Natsuko Yoshikai portrays people caught within labor activism and political conflict as a broad ensemble. Rather than treating organizational and ideological clashes only as abstractions, it layers homes, workplaces, poverty, and hesitation among working people, depicting a moment when historical tension is rising.
