This is a very good book. I could see the pain in Emi-san's eyes and hear Jun stutter. It felt like I was there. I have read books by other Japanese writers, but sometimes they is hard to understand. Hiroko Sherwin writes of the Japanese life but it is understandable. This is a good read.

I was put off by the style of writing. Almost too simplistic. However plowed through to the end with great reward. Everyday people living everyday lives to what end. You figure it out. It made me want to be very thoughtful about how I vote in any election.
