Synopsis
Based on a novel by Miura Ayako.
The young daughter of Tsujiguchi Keizô, a respected physician who runs his own hospital, is found murdered. Keizô secretly blames his wife Natsue because he suspects her of having an affair with his colleague Murai, and having been too distracted to keep proper watch over the child. Being a proud man, he does not accuse her directly, but concocts, instead, a twisted revenge against her. Pretending it is to comfort his devastated wife, Keizô arranges for them to adopt a baby girl. What he hasn't told Natsue, is that the baby is the orphaned daughter of the murderer, a tragic day-laborer who has hanged himself while in police custody. He plans to reveal the child's origins after Natsue has given her heart to the child-- when it will cause the greatest possible hurt.
Over the years, Keizô has a number of experiences that shake him up and cause him to examine his own inner nature with a critical eye. In the meantime, Natsue loves the child Yôko with all her heart until the day she stumbles upon the truth. Her attitude towards Yôko changes 180 degrees, and Yôko's life turns into a nightmare. Other characters whose lives are affected by this insidious scheme of revenge include Keizô's colleagues, their son Tôru, who develops inappropriate romantic feelings towards his adopted sister, and Tôru's college classmate Kitahara. Kitahara and Yôko are becoming close friends when Natsue, who feels attracted to Kitahara herself, reveals the truth of Yôko's birth in an attempt to separate them. Yôko goes into shock and wanders out into a snowy forest where she attempts suicide by taking poison. The letter she leaves for her family is the core of the whole novel and the source of the title. The novel comes to a close with one more unexpected revelation concerning Yôko's birth, but Yôko lies in a coma and it is not entirely clear whether she will survive.
