What a lovely novel. It was long, but there were some beautiful meditations. The ending was powerful, tying the stories together -- especially the generational story of Jigo, Haruki #1, Haruki #2, and Nao, replete with understanding. And, it has some of my favorite tropes, like the cat who comes back, and hope is restored, and we can be better tomorrow, and today is good because we're alive.
