父と反発した兄の自殺した地下鉄に大人になった主人公がいる。その地下鉄でタイムスリップをしていくうちに、これまで知られざる父の過去に触れていく物語。
親も私と同じ人間で苦労しているんだということを私は本書から改めて学んだ。社会人になって、働く大変さを知って親を尊敬した。加えて、自分とは異なる時代を生きてきた力強い母には感謝しかない。そんな素敵な母のもとに、生れた自分は本当に幸せものだなぁ。自分が親になっても、母のように、また本書の母のように、自分の幸せではなく、子供/パートナーの幸せを一番に思える人になりたい。

Picked it up at a bookstore just by looking at the title. It ended up really interesting read.
