This book impressed me deeply, especially the character of Yoshiko. Her inner struggle and growth when facing family problems made me relate to her. The family atmosphere depicted in the book is also very real, which made me understand her pain and confusion better. I like this kind of delicate and real description, and recommend it to friends who like to think about family relationships.
