Sunbirth

Set in a remote village where the sun is gradually vanishing, this atmospheric novel follows two sisters—one tending to a traditional medicine shop and the other working at a wellness parlor—as they confront a world on the brink of collapse. As mysterious Beacons with blinding lights appear and the town's future hangs in the balance, the sisters explore the secrets of their past, including their father's mysterious death. With a surreal and contemplative tone reminiscent of Murakami, the story delves into themes of family, mystery, and the unknown.
