Synopsis
A collection of four tender, humorous stories—one about a girl's love for Les Thibault—celebrating life's small, feminine perspectives.
This collected volume was named after the longest of the four stories that it contains: a drama about an adolescent girl who falls in love with Roger Martin du Gard's saga, Les Thibault. The remaining stories capture various fragments of everyday life with tenderness and humor. Through the kaleidoscope of its feminine views, The Yellow Book touches the readers heart by attending to what, in sum, makes up life—the little things of our every day. (Source: Kotonoha)
