Whimsical and charming, the tale of two cousins and their friendship Tomoko is entranced by the gilded life of her cousin, titular character Mina, and her wealthy, part 'foreign' household. 1970s Japanese/world events and the undercurrents of dissatisfaction between her aunt and uncle brush past but never really disrupt the narrative. I should add, there is a pygmy hippopotamus. ❤️
I simply do not have the brain chemistry for a quiet and contemplative Japanese novel at this time, apologies to artistry and culture worldwide
