Having tried to read another book by this author and sort of lost interest halfway through, I didn't have high hopes but wanted to give a celebrated writer another shot! I enjoyed this book, but would have liked to learn more about some of the events in the story. 
I know the focus is on the characters recollection of past events, but I still would have liked to know more about
what happened with her and her husband in Japan, then in America and how that affected her daughter,
rather than leaving it completely unresolved for the reader
