On a tiny Japanese island, the last two inhabitants climb a cliff every day and wave their arms, imitating birds. Umiko arrives to take Io's mother back to the mainland, but she refuses. At first, Umiko dismisses this as senile madness, but as she lives on the island day after day, she realizes: sometimes you have to allow those you love to find freedom.

In this magical realist novel, the author creates both a physical and metaphorical image of aging, constantly balancing ideas of connection and liberation.
