Fudoki by Kij Johnson

3.0

I wanted to like this one so much more than I did. This is a very quiet and introspective book, so I had some trouble concentrating on it, which I think was part of my problem. The other part was just that this is kind of a sad story. The ending is the happiest part of it, but most of the book just made me feel sad. Still, it's a lovely story, and very Japanese. I'm not an expert, but it felt quite authentically Japanese to me, and not at all fangirl-y.
