Hi,
Can someone please explain to me the significance of the title of this book? Thanks! Also, if possible, could you please describe the techniques used to portray this significance? Thanks so much!!!!

You could try reading the book. Is that a dumb suggestion?

yeah, big time dumb suggestion.
Of course it suggests that Tomo (the main character) had to wait many years before she could establish once again some sort of power or even meaning within the household, but I was wondering if anyone had a more thought through/intelligent/interesting explanation.
