漢方小説

Minori Kawanami is thirty-one, single and writes scripts for a living. Her stomach feels as if it has turned over, she cannot sleep, and she shakes, yet every test at the hospital comes back clear. Is it the shock of learning that an old boyfriend is marrying, or the stress of her work? Her search for an answer leads her to a kampo clinic, where, bewildered by the peculiar logic of Eastern medicine and surrounded by the smell of herbs, she begins to look at the balance between her body, her mind and the people in her life.
