【第45回すばる文学賞受賞作】認知症を患うカケイは、「みっちゃん」たちから介護を受けて暮らしてきた。ある時、病院の帰りに「今までの人生をふり返って、しあわせでしたか?」と、みっちゃんの一人から尋ねられ、カケイは来し方を語り始める。父から殴られ続け、カケイを産んですぐに死んだ母。お女郎だった継母からは毎日毎日薪で殴られた。兄の勧めで所帯を持つも、息子の健一郎が生まれてすぐに亭主は蒸発。カケイと健一郎、亭主の連れ子だったみのるは置き去りに。やがて、生活のために必死にミシンを踏み続けるカケイの腹が、だんだん膨らみだす。そして、ある夜明け。カケイは便所で女の赤ん坊を産み落とす。その子、みっちゃんと過ごす日々は、しあわせそのものだった。それなのに――。暴力と愛情、幸福と絶望、諦念と悔悟……絡まりあう記憶の中から語られる、凄絶な「女の一生」。
