作家、宇野千代の九十九年間の人生は、絶対的権力者としての父親の存在を抜きにしては語ることが出来ない。それは恐怖心として、彼女の精神の髄まで刻み込まれる。父親の言葉によって植え付けられた自信喪失に懊悩し続ける中で、宇野千代がいかにして生涯、自分自身であることを希求して生き抜いたかを探る。Chiyo UNO was a Japanese novelist and essayist who lived for 99 years. She suffered from loss of self-confidence throughout most of her life under the emotionally abusive influence of her father. He was an absolute patriarch and continuously spoke ill of her dark complexioned face. He was a terror to her. The present writer would like to focus upon this emotional abuse and its effect upon her and to speculate upon how she overcame difficulties and tried to be mentally independent, striking out a path of her own in life.
