「汝、星のごとく」の続編ということで「星を編む」を手に取りました。
三部に分かれていて、一部目は北原先生の過去のお話、二部目は編集者たちの続編、三部目は暁美の続編。
どれも前作とのつながりに違和感が全くなく、暁美と櫂の大恋愛がありながらも、それ以外もすばらしい人生がそれぞれにあるという温かいお話。
帯に「[汝、星のごとく]で語りきれなかった愛の物語」と書いてあるけど、まさにそうでした。
読んでよかったなと思いました。
I bought “Brighten the Stars” because it is the sequel to “You Are Like a Star”.
It has three parts.
The first one is the past story of teacher Kitahara, one of the characters in the previous novel.
The second is the sequel to the editors, who played important roles in the previous novel.
The last is the sequel to Akemi who was very main character in the previous.
They are comfortable for me in terms of a smooth connection to the great love story written in the previous and of great lives other than it written.
“Other parts of the love story which were not written in ‘You are Like a Star’” is written on the book belt and I totally agree with it.
I recommend it.
