When Kumiko's well-meaning adult daughters place her in an assisted
living home the seventy-six-year-old widow gives it a try, but it's
not where she wants to be. She goes on the lam and finds a cosy
bachelor apartment, keeping the location secret even while
communicating online with her eldest daughter. Kumiko revels in the
small, daily pleasures: decorating as she pleases, eating what she
wants, and swimming in the community pool. But something has
followed her from her former residence - Death's shadow. Kumiko's
sweet life is shattered when Death's shadow swoops in to collect
her. With her quick mind and sense of humour, Kumiko, with the help
of friends new and old, is prepared for the fight of her life. But
how long can an old woman thwart fate?
