Reading this book, the impression I received from Ramo's works and the Ramo described in this book are consistent. There was a statement to the effect of "We are as alike as twins." While stating they were "alike," I was impressed by the fact that she wrote about their history so calmly. The chaotic days are described in a detached tone. For those who were captivated by Nakajima Ramo's essays and novels, it is interesting to get a behind-the-scenes look, like a movie making-of. The author wrote that she wanted to be a novelist but gave up, believing she lacked talent after reading Nakajima Ramo's writing. However, Miyoko Nakajima's writing has more backbone than the delicate genius Nakajima Ramo. This is a memoir by Nakajima Ramo's wife. It is a very poignant book. The relationship with Ms. Wakagi Efu, which I had vaguely suspected, is also revealed. I felt very sad, thinking that the author's true feelings might be the complete opposite of what is stated in this dialogue.
