NY Times Editors Choice pick!
From the New York Times, 9 New Books We Recommend This Week: “In Kyoto in 1948, a mother makes her daughter promise to be obedient and then abandons her with grandparents she doesn’t know. Lemmie’s sweeping novel tells the story of how this resourceful survivor spends the next 20 years breaking her promise to her mother again and again. “Nori lives many lives in this riveting, occasionally melodramatic, always entertaining novel,” Elisabeth Egan writes in her latest Group Text column. “Lemmie never allows you to look her straight in the eye; that’s part of the allure here. The other part is the satisfaction of watching a determined person make her way to the top of a mountain alone.”
