All She Was Worth by Miyuki Miyabe
4.0
The way the investigator's boy partially knows, comes to know, and yet can't fully know the motives of the adult characters perfectly evokes the way no person can truly know another's inner world.
Inside this milieux we explore the way debt and credit create another layer of personae and motive - for people to tend, investigate, punish and escape in their encounters with one another.
A world where a person can exhibit fastidious personal habits, love and be loved, while at the same time live duplicitously and in fear because of a ruined financial reputation. This world is the world we've created and the place our children will have to navigate as they search for love, home, security, community - the author leaves us wondering if anyone can truly connect with another in this place or reconcile past with present .
