At the start of the novel, the protagonist reflects on her imminent departure from her childhood home following the death of her beloved aunt. She grapples with conflicting emotions as she leaves behind the familiar, yearning for new experiences in a bustling city while simultaneously mourning the loss of her aunt and the innocence of her youth.
