Hmm. Not sure about this book. I didn't fall in love with it but I didn't dislike it either. It's about three generations of women in a Japanese family in the early 1900s-1950s(?). What I didn't realize until after I'd finished was that it was written in Japanese in 1959 and then translated into English in the 80s. I'd assumed it was a recent publication, since it was written very similarly to other new books I'd read on similar subjects.
