The Lake by Banana Yoshimoto

2.0

Thanks Goodreads for ruining a major plot twist with your description!

This book feels only semi-Japanese, not quite the way Americans talk or think, but also somewhat different from the Japan I know. There were some passages that were really moving, and some where I felt completely disconnected from the narrator. It's a quick read, but I think it's just ok.
