Originally published in Japanese and brilliantly translated into English by Sam Bett and David Boyd, Heaven is a devastating yet deeply human exploration of adolescent suffering.

A central and symbolic event in the novel is their joint trip to an art museum, where Kojima reveals the source of the book's title. She describes a painting of two lovers sharing a cake in a beautiful room, which she has named "Heaven". For her, this painting represents a perfect, separate world of harmony and love that exists in stark contrast to their painful reality.

A passive, resigned protagonist who views his suffering as inevitable.
