あめりかむら

Five stories. In the title story Michiko, on a trip meant to quiet her fear that her illness will come back, suddenly feels her body give way and finds a young man she disliked filling her mind: a friend racing toward an elite business career whom no one could stand. Others include a downtown tale set in a bar that is also a used-book shop, and 'Kuri', about a little child who is bullied and a dog.
