This novel is a story about two sisters, one of whom (Tinhinan) committed suicide without warning, leaving the other (Maciva) in throes. The track of suicide's rationale takes Maciva to interrogate people, who had known her sister, scratching earth to pinpoint the second Tinhinan swopped life for death. Actually, the tragedy snowballed to Maciva as she lost Tinhinan shortly after her divorce, a child as a collateral damage. As the chapters are unfolding like withering petals, readers will become aware that suicides have touched all the peoples, cultures, ages, professions and genders, since old times. «The malediction of Cain?». Rather than being a naked depiction of suicides' whys and wherefores, the novel takes on the selfish side of self-killers. There is no comfort in a suicide.
