This story is a somewhat dreamlike experience, told nonlinearly, in a mix of narratives from grandmother and granddaughter. Explores themes of relating to one’s family and culture, being a woman, and living in a small town as a Japanese Canadian. Great for anyone that can enjoy the ride as it unfolds without needing to understand it all.
