Synopsis
Teenager Cordelia Kenn writes a pillow book for her unborn daughter, speaking of her friendships, romantic experiences, poetry, her special relationship with her teacher Julie, a boy named Will, trees and how her daughter came to be. The pillow book was inspired from Sei Shonagon's pillow book during the Heian period in Japan, from which she also gets her inspiration for poetry from Poetry Immortal Izumi Shikibu. Throughout the book's 800 pages Cordelia's teenage years and her character are written and made important to readers.[2]
