ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

A Tale For The Time Being by Ruth Ozeki delves into the lives of two seemingly disparate women. Ruth, a novelist living on a remote island, finds a diary that has washed ashore. The diary belongs to Nao, a troubled teenager in Tokyo, who documents her experiences and reflects on her great-grandmother, a Zen Buddhist nun. As Ruth reads, she becomes entangled in Nao's narrative, which touches upon themes of identity, isolation, and the search for meaning. The novel explores the potential connections between individuals across time and vast distances, raising questions about our shared humanity.
