Wildcat Dome: A Novel by Yuko Tsushima

dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.0

Honestly, I was a bit reluctant to start this because so far I haven't read anything from Yuko Tsushima that really grabbed my attention, but this novel is my turning point. This is the first Yuko Tsushima novel that had me gripped from the start to the finish. Going back from the past to the present, over the course of 60 years, the novel explores the themes of guilt, loss, grief, shame, and discrimination within the post-war to modern Japanese society through multiple character POVs. All of the topics are well explored and expressed through the lives of the characters, making it a very compelling story.
