Features: This book is a continuation of the "CHANNELA" series, including "The Dreams of That Year" and "The Butterfly's Expired Residence." The stories are lighter and more carefree than before, with younger and more carefree characters. What remains consistent is the huge network of love that connects numerous characters who are constantly searching and uncertain, and also cleverly links together eleven seemingly independent short stories, deeply moving us who are also entangled in love. Cakes always bring to mind happiness. When we're sad, we don't think about eating cake. Isn't love the same? At the beginning, it's always sweet. Later, there's boredom, habit, betrayal, loneliness, despair, and sneers. We elevate love, and love elevates us and the other person. When you are loved and love someone else, you are no longer just a pile of blood and bones, but a soul in full bloom. Love is always most beautiful when you're uncertain. If you don't start, it will never fade away. But who can resist starting? She believes in promises and loves everything beautiful: pretty clothes, delicious food, and men's promises. She seeks happiness, then discovers that disappointment is sometimes a form of happiness. Because there is something to expect, there will be disappointment. Regret is also a form of happiness. Because there are still things that make you regret. She pursues love, then realizes that love has always been a winding and complex journey.
