Well crafted, but I may be the wrong demographic to really appreciate this novel. I'm significantly older than the main characters. I finished reading because it was artfully and carefully written. I did get tired of the number of characters who could not communicate clearly and honestly with each other, for whatever excellent reasons. The exceptions--those who were honest with each other--kept me going, although the texture and structure of the book were a good deal more complex than the characters, who always seemed to want to be more three-dimensional than they were. Maya Ishida has just received a letter telling her that her father is dead. When she was 10 years old, she left her father's home in Osaka, Japan to move to her mother's home in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The last time she saw her father was in the airport over 20 years ago and among his last words to here were, "I won't see you again." Maya is now a weaver and a married woman. As she tries to come to terms with her father's death and the legacy that he left her, she examines her own life--her relationship with her distant, controlling mother and her quiet marriage. At the same time, she is helping her best friend since moving to the US, Yoko, through a difficult divorce. One night she meets a man, an artist like her father, at a party, and she is forced into further examination. Then she must choose between a quiet, lonely life and a life with love. I felt sad throughout the reading of this book, but it was also very satisfying. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
In her debut novel for adults, Kyoko Mori has drawn on ancient myths, reworked with her hallmark lyrical prose, to probe the eternal question: Given the fragility of life, is love too great a risk? Maya Ishida is no stranger to sorrow. Torn from her artist father and native Japan as a child, raised by her cold, ambitious mother in Minneapolis, she has finally put together a life with few disruptions: a marriage to a man who never asks questions, a quiet job weaving clothes. But when her father dies, Maya is pulled back into the memory of their parting. She must question her placid marriage, her decision not to become an artist, and even the precarious peace she made with her mother, before she can be released—to feel passion, risk change, and fall in love.
