Translation:
A stream-of-consciousness novel that unfolds through the lenses of motherhood and otherness.

This is the story of Lallana, a mother and a man.
In a year of transformation from child to mother, from marriage to divorce, from woman to man
he encounters a man
on Song Wat Road, where that man opens the door to his home with quiet kindness.

My dear child,
if your father left a ring-shaped mark on your mother’s left ring finger,
and you left a stretch of cracks across her belly,
then he, too, has left behind a mark, carved deep and permanent.
