作品考察・見どころ
本作が描くのは、肉体的な制約と精神的な傷跡、その二つの不自由さがぶつかり合う魂の衝突です。車椅子で生きる敏腕弁護士のアレクサンダーと、過去の惨劇に囚われたイザベル。アン=マリー・ブロックマンは、この対照的な二人を通じて、愛が純粋な救済となるのか、あるいは破滅への引き金となるのかを、痛烈なまでの叙情性で描き出しています。 読者は、二人が抱える孤独の深さに激しく揺さぶられるでしょう。隠された秘密と、許しを拒む頑なな心が織りなすミステリアスな緊張感は、単なるロマンスの枠を超え、人間の脆さとエゴを剥き出しにします。降り注ぐ涙の季節の果てに、彼らが真の青空を見上げることができるのか。その劇的な結末を追いかける旅は、あなたの心に消えない炎を灯すはずです。
