Nara is the story of a teenage girl who, on waking from a dream, discovers that time can fracture. Unwittingly, she travels back forty years and alters an event that completely changes her present. From that moment on, her life is suspended between two realities: one that she recognizes as her own, and another that she no longer knows if it is memory, dream, or destiny.
On her journey, she encounters female ancestors who reveal forgotten secrets, animals that speak, and an artificial intelligence capable of showing her possible futures. But what unsettles her most is her own body: in situations of extreme stress, butterfly wings sprout from her back. They are not a magical gift or a saving power, but the visible sign of an identity that cannot be contained by a single form or a single narrative.
Because Nara is not the story of a young girl who wants to find herself, but of someone who learns to live without being fully definable. Her self changes, breaks, reforms. Sometimes she is a girl, sometimes a woman. Sometimes a victim, sometimes an unknown force. In Nara, time and memory fold, and truth, like herself, is drawn in fragments.
A novel about what it means to grow up when identity is not built on certainties, but with doubts, with losses, and with everything that cannot wait.
