The story is about how important dreams are and how they can change our lives. Assol, despite her naivety, believes in miracles. She waits for the day when someone will come to take her on a ship with scarlet sails, and her life will be filled with magic. And it seems that this belief is the most important thing.
Grin writes about how crucial it is not to lose the ability to dream, even though the world around us can be harsh and dull. In his book, dreams only become real when you truly believe in them. And I thought: so often, we lose this ability to dream, we trap ourselves in the routines of everyday life and forget that miracles can be right beside us if we open our hearts to them.
What I love about Grin’s writing is that he shows us that a dream isn't something distant or impossible. It lives within us, in the way we see the world, in the way we believe in something better. In the end, the scarlet sails are not just a symbol of something fantastical but a reminder that we must always believe in miracles, even when they seem impossible. And who knows, maybe each of us has our own "ship" with scarlet sails, waiting to bring us happiness if we believe in it.
This book, like love itself, reminds us: it’s not just about what you wait for, but how you wait for it. Perhaps that’s the secret to real magic
