A 女中, live-in maid, recounting her life during the war. The real trick here is how the story is completely isolated to within the four walls of this "small house", and often only really tells of the war by means of a present-time relative of the protagonist accusing her of romanticizing the time. The relationships of the people within that small house very subtly progress, and i absolutely want to avoid spoiling anything about this, but the last chapter of this book is just amazing and really elevates the whole story.
Language wise i noticed that this is very stingy with the furigana, even for historical names or events, so you may need to guess some readings a bit more, but it's not too bad either. Definitely one of my favorite war-time stories.
