The Perfect World of Miwako Sumida
by Clarissa Goenawan
The Perfect World Of Miwako Sumida falls in the murky middle of the Venn diagram between literary fiction and conventional mystery. The story is told in three parts, with fluid transitions between past and present to tell Miwako’s story. Normally I resist jumpy timelines, but this one unfolded so naturally I barely noticed.
In the final section, it also evolves into a more magical and mystical understanding of life and death – again, not usually my “thing”, but I was so wrapped up in this story and its characters that I barely raised an eyebrow. This is a deep cut examination of what happens to a life left behind.
