Title: Utterly absorbing, first word to last
Review: I came upon this title by accident, and was unable to stop reading until I'd finished it. It's a charming coming-of-age story, set in post-war Japan. The setting is just exotic enough to keep you a bit outside your cultural "comfort zone" - just as the narrator is kept off balance by adolescence and changing circumstances.This was just great...what a lucky find!
