Features: This is a story of a modern person seeking peace in life and a spiritual home. The sensitive and lonely Jonathan, the melancholic and taciturn Bobby, and the half-rebellious Claire—three people with different growth experiences and inner wounds—come together out of their pursuit of a true home. They fall in love with each other in pairs, trying to find a spiritual peace in an alternative family life. They approach happiness in their own ambiguous ways, yet Claire's departure at the end of the story leaves us with endless reflection. The book, with deep emotions and delicate psychological descriptions, showcases the inner desires of a generation of American youth.
