Mina's Matchbox
by Yōko Ogawa
I loved reading this book about the year young, Middle Schooler Tomoko from Okayama spends with with her Aunt's family in Ashiya. Tomoko develops a binding friendship with her young, Asthmatic cousin Mina (of the book's title). It is a coming of age story of sorts. I loved the evocative descriptions in the book, and the painting of the life of a rich, eccentric, and loveable household in Ashiya
