This is a story about a house in Yokohama called Mirror House where Linda has lived since her marriage. Mirror House can be thought of as a house of illusion. Linda has schizophrenia and the story is based on true events. Being mentally impaired she is unable to do anything on her own much like a child. After all her married life has become like a childrens playhouse because of her inability to perform the wifes duties. Is she Nightingale or an Imekura (a type of Japanese prostitute) girl? She is isolated from the outside world since she has a disability and does not leave the house. She does creative activities within these circumstances (Linda in a birdcage). Why is she there? There are her familys thoughts behind why shes there. The last chapter Getting Out of the Mirror House celebrates her overcoming schizophrenia.ミラーハウスという横浜の自宅に結婚してから住み続けているときの話。ミラーハウスとは錯覚の家と訳します。リンダという統合失調症の患者のノンフィクションです。障がい者のため子どものように何も出来ないリンダ。結局、夫婦生活は主婦の機能が果たせずおままごとをしています。「ナイチンゲールかイメクラか。」 障がい者のため出歩かないのでほぼ外の世界とは鎖国状態。そのようななかでの創作活動(鳥かごのリンダ)。なぜここにいるのか? そこには実家の家族の思いがあります。最後の「ミラーハウス脱出」では統合失調症からの開放を謳っています。
