A Tale for the Time Being: A Novel par Ruth Ozeki
It took me more than two months to finish this. So deep and heart-wrenching in parts, I couldn't fly through it. Nao, the Japanese girl who is the main narrator of her own diary, is a character who will stay with me. I just felt at times that the author tried to do too much, and I could have stayed with Nao and her story more than Ruth's, the woman who finds her diary. The writing itself was magnificent.
I found this to be a mesmerizing book about time, connections, family and self awareness. I liked how the characters interacted and how they learn more about themselves through their interactions with others.
Great read! Thoroughly enjoyed reading about the Fuller family and the town of Liberty Falls. I lack a proper understanding of GMO / Corporate farming but it makes me want to do research on the subject.
