A poetic take on poverty and homelessness in Japan. The prose is of high quality, the translation reads well, but it could have had a bit more plot...
plight and state of the homeless poignantly delivered and such atmosphere when dealing with sadness, hopelessness and consuming grief. was disjointed in places but so too i guess were the lives of those in play. loved this book and one of my fav translations to date
