Prison of Loneliness: A Psychological Fiction Novel with a Heartbreaking Twist, Part I (ePub)

Trapped in trauma, alone abroad, and loathing the covid lockdown.

Japanese Kigaiko Wazawai knows: if she cannot feel whole, it won't be the Corona virus that will kill her.

Guided by philosophical discussions with her grandfather, and metaphorical dreams, Kigai ventures into a journey of self-discovery and online dating, and the Korean-American Jacob Isdadi she gets to know soon becomes a close companion.

However, their path is full of obstacles: her unprocessed trauma pulls her back; the pandemic blocks them from meeting; and if the present wasn't enough, the historically tense Japanese-Korean relation forms additional stumbling blocks.

Kigai fights through a labyrinth of different approaches to escape her inner prison until there seems no way past a compromise: not reaching her destination, or losing the man she loves. Will she find her freedom?

Find out and inspire your self-help journey through the mind-swirling depth of this melancholic, yet hopeful psychological literary fiction best-seller with a heartbreaking twist.
