I enjoyed several aspects of this book, including the descriptive writing and exploration of Japanese daily life, culture, and history. However, I struggled with the constantly shifting stream of consciousness and frequently felt lost. The ending stunned and moved me, and I am still reflecting on Kazu's decision.
