I read this book for a book club read.I really enjoyed the book.I thought it was beautifully written.I really liked the story between the two brothers and how they were so different one was a sumo wrestler and one was an artist who made masks for opera plays.It was fascinating to learn about how the masks were made and what each one meant.I also learned a lot about sumo wrestling that I never knew before.They sure work hard to become a champion.I loved the grandmother and grandfather who raised them after their mother died.I thought the ending was bittersweet. I would highly recommend reading this book you wont be disappointed.Half of the people in my book club loved it the other half didnt like it.Im one who loved it.I will let you deiced for yourself.
