Read this on the first trip with my girlfriends to Uttarakhand.  Kinda sombre for a travel read but quite memorable. Love the way grief has been described in this book. Though it did get sort of clichéd in the second half and with the abrupt end. Still enjoyed my first Yoshimoto and can't wait to dive into some more!
