  初恋は冒険
  First love is an adventure
  少女の頃の初恋はトキメキのキラキラの思い出なのはよくあること。そして、どんな事情が有れ終わりを迎えるのも。ヒロインシンシアの場合別れは、自分の意志でなかったから後悔は大きくそして思いは10年という永続的なものになってしまっていた。父親の最後の言葉に縛られての経年には残酷な親だと憤るが、娘も16歳では父親の言葉を額面通りに受けてしまっただけなのが悲しい。また、母親自身が小説家として身を立てていながら 芸術家を（夫）を口汚く罵っている裏腹の罪悪感を、成長する娘を見ても縛り続けるという執着を見て震え上がる。ヒーローリックの物思いはよくある設定だけれどナルシスト強めな印象でも、木彫りの人形に託された心の描写は素晴らしく物語に奥行きを持たせてくれていた。シンシアの初恋の彼に似ている男性に惹かれていくという変わらない感性なのか、引きずっているからなのか分からないが、暗闇の中で五感を働かせて外見ではないところで成り立たせているところは ロマンティックではあるが物語の先読みが出来て少々不満はある。携帯電話無しには驚くけれど、会いたいと思っていても 何かしらのトラブルによって会えないすれ違いを 無茶をしてでも会いに行くことで解消されている展開が、なお一層切なさと衝動を伝えてくれて感動があった。

  It's common for my first love when I was a girl to be an exciting, sparkling memory. Also, whatever the circumstances, it will come to an end. In the case of the heroine Cynthia, the breakup was not of her own will, so her regrets were huge, and her thoughts became permanent for 10 years. They are outraged that they are cruel parents after being bound by their father's last words, but it's sad that their daughter just took her father's words at face value at age 16. Also, I tremble when I see the obsession that the mother herself continues to bind her daughter growing up even when she sees her growing up, the sense of guilt that she foul-mouthed and curses the artist (husband) while she herself is standing up as a novelist. Hero Rick's memories are a common setting, but even with a strong narcissist impression, the depiction of the heart entrusted to a wooden doll was wonderful and gave depth to the story. I don't know if it's an unchanging sensibility of being attracted to a man similar to Cynthia's first love, or if it's because he's dragging, but the place where the five senses are used in the dark and made up of things other than appearance is romantic, but I'm a little dissatisfied with being able to pre-read the story. I was surprised that they didn't have a cell phone, but I was moved by the development that was resolved by going to meet even though they couldn't meet due to some kind of trouble even though they had misunderstood each other even though they wanted to meet them, still conveyed even more sadness and impulse.

  夜の海辺出逢った彼女は昔別れた人だった❗また惹かれ合う二人はリックが作る木彫りが恋を橋渡しする?過去を忘れて前に進むシンシアが強いわ?

  I met her at the seaside at night and she used to be the person they broke up with ❗ Do wood carvings made by Rick bridge their love for the two people who are attracted to each other again? Cynthia who forgets her past and moves forward is strong, isn't she?

  若かりし頃の
  When I was young
  辛い思い出ばかりで、、、、お互い理解試合ってからのお話をもっと描いて欲しかったなぁと。基本悪い人は出てこなかったので、読んでいてもやな気持ちはしませんでしたが、主人公たちの今後を是非見たいな。

  There are only painful memories... I wanted them to draw more stories after the mutual understanding game. Basically, bad people didn't come up, so I didn't feel bad when I read it, but I definitely want to see the future of the main characters.
