⭐️Mini advent calendar ⭐️ - one book per day for a week * Today we present you « Festival of Shadows ». * Every summer, in an isolated Japanese village, a celebration known as the Festival of Shadows takes place. The villagers are entrusted to assist the troubled souls or « shadows » of those who died tragically, and to help them come to terms with their deaths and find eternal peace. Naoko, a young girl born in the village, is given a year to save the soul of a mysterious young man. She develops strong feelings for her shadow—a handsome young man, an artist—but he seems haunted by a terrible secret. She has a year to find out what happened to him, to help him come to terms with his past, and if she fails, his soul will be lost forever… * The book is available in French at @isseki_nicho , and in English at @tuttlepublishing publishing. #japan #watercolor #christmas
