When Marnie Was There

Anna Sasaki is a quiet, withdrawn girl who struggles with asthma and keeps to herself, worrying her foster parent. Hoping fresh air and a slower pace will help, the doctor suggests she spend the summer in the countryside. Staying with her aunt and uncle in a seaside town, Anna passes the time sketching-until she stumbles upon the deserted Marsh House. But the house isn't empty. There, Anna meets Marnie, a lively girl whose warmth gradually coaxes her out of her loneliness. Night after night, Anna returns to the mansion, drawn by their growing friendship. Yet as the summer draws to a close, Anna realizes Marnie isn't quite who she seems-and the secrets of the Marsh House begin to unravel. "Omoide no Marnie" is a gentle, heartfelt story about a girl finding connection and uncovering truths-about others, and herself-during a summer she'll never forget.
