Yamashita is always so imaginative in the way she writes both memorable characters and interwoven plots.  I can’t predict any endings for any of their lives and that is quite something indeed. If you don’t like magical realism or complex storylines, you may miss out on the brilliance that is Yamashita and the bulk of her work.  But, if you find yourself wanting to explore what creative literature is capable of, please look no further!
