A review by littlecornerreads
Shizuko's Daughter by Kyoko Mori

4.0

The novel opens with a suicide, so you don't exactly expect a happy, cherry story. At the same time, you aren't stuck with a depressing tragedy. The story is nicely balanced and beautifully crafted. "Shizuko's Daughter" is well-written and moving. Definitely a unique novel. Feels less plot-y and more like an exploration of human relationships. Not something I expected to love, but it definitely left me with a good feeling at the end.
