    Haru tiene quince años cuando su padre, severo maestro de caligrafía, la envía a un dojo de tiro con arco cumpliendo el último deseo de su madre moribunda. Acepta a regañadientes, sin tiempo siquiera para el duelo, y allí conoce a tres maestros y siete discípulos. Durante años vive entre la disciplina del dojo y la nostalgia del hogar. Al terminar el aprendizaje entra como aprendiza de un viejo zapatero, pero el vacío y la distancia con su padre la desorientan. Solo cuando comprende que para irse hay que volver —y perdonarse— su vida cobra sentido. Una novela iniciática luminosa y serena.

    English Translation

    Haru

    Haru is fifteen when her father, a stern calligraphy teacher, sends her to an archery dojo to honor her dying mother's last wish. She goes unwillingly, with no time to grieve, and meets three masters and seven fellow students. For years she lives torn between the discipline of the dojo and longing for home. When training ends, she apprentices with an old shoemaker, yet emptiness and her father's silence unsettle her. Only when Haru understands that leaving home means returning—and forgiving herself—does her life find meaning. A luminous, contemplative coming-of-age novel.
