the beginning place

 A man, I forgot his name, with an unhappy mother who he feels responsible for, discover another place, calm, where time is slower. He encounters a girl there, and she is also in an unhappy family. She knew the place already, and went further than the man. She knew the village where families exist, a mayor ( for whom she has a crush) and a noble family lives and speak a foreign language. The village needs their help, so the man and the woman go find the reason why the village needs their help. It was a womanly dragon, that they manage to kill. And they decide to live together

Somehow it's a short book, but like other U K LG, it feels like there are a lot of metaphors and it's a book about the development of characters. The emancipation from their mothers is the obvious one, but there is more, I feel it like an itch, but I'd have to study it chapter by chapter to untangled it.
