Er macht sich auf die Suche nach ihm, gelangt in die Stadt und ihre geheimnisvolle Bibliothek, doch das Mädchen erkennt ihn nicht mehr. Unter rätselhaften Umständen gerät der Erzähler zurück in die Welt jenseits der Mauer. Er zieht nach Tokio, arbeitet im Buchhandel, hat wechselnde Freundinnen. Die Erinnerung an das Mädchen und die ummauerte Stadt lässt ihn nicht los. Schließlich kündigt er und nimmt eine Stelle in einer alten Bücherei in der Präfektur Fukushima an. Die Realität gerät knirschend ins Wanken – und der Erzähler muss sich fragen, was ihn an diese Welt bindet. Ein melancholischer, zärtlicher und philosophischer Roman über eine verlorene Liebe, die Suche nach dem Selbst und die Möglichkeit, Mauern zu überwinden.

What if you could live again and again, until you got it right? On a cold and snowy night in 1910, Ursula Todd is born to an English banker and his wife. She dies before she can draw her first breath. On that same cold and snowy night, Ursula Todd is born, lets out a lusty wail, and embarks upon a life that will be, to say the least, unusual. For as she grows, she also dies, repeatedly, in a variety of ways, while the young century marches on towards its second cataclysmic world war.
