Description
A certain supernatural element and mystery appear in several stories, but we know that the author draws from her own experiences and insights; it is not a fantasy genre. In addition to the texts of two successful radio plays, the book consists of short stories about how the efforts of some people to help others are passed down from generation to generation, or how the goodwill of loved ones complicates family situations. The arrangement of the stories also plays a role, where the author reveals her 'childhood beginnings' of creation (The Witch's Table), allowing readers who enjoy searching for the author's alter ego to experience the adventures of four generations. The culmination of the stories is the author's new, longer short story The Scent of Dust from 2019, where the narrative vividly takes us back along the timeline of life from the end of a life journey. Thanks to the lively dialogues, each reader can imagine not only the fates of the characters but also perhaps dream of their own.
