    This is a rather obscure novel, with only 153 favorites, but the writing is excellent. I particularly love the descriptive passages; the scenes of them riding bicycles to town to buy things, the chirping of cicadas in summer, and watermelons are all vividly depicted – it's a very pleasant picture.
