Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. I listened to this 8 disc book over a period of several months. This is a mystery drama read by a man who does a great job with character voices. This book is long and descriptive. I like rich descriptions, but there were many times that I became lost and was unable to follow the story. I'm still not sure what connections existed between the sister and her supposed killer. I would have a hard time recommending this book to anyone else, unfortunately. This entire book seem shrouded in mystery. Not in an unpleasant way, but it was definitely vague and difficult to tell where the story was heading. The twists towards the end of the book that lead to the solving of the murder seem to come from nowhere. However, the small town is finely detailed and the characters and the peripheral characters and quirky and interesting. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"Clarissa Goenawan's dark, spellbinding literary debut opens with a murder and shines a spotlight onto life in fictional small-town Japan. Ren Ishida is nearly finished with graduate school when he receives news of his sister, Keiko's, sudden death. She was viciously stabbed one rainy night on her way home, and there are no leads. Ren heads to Akakawa to conclude his sister's affairs, still failing to understand why she chose to abandon the family and Tokyo for this desolate town years ago. But Ren soon finds himself picking up where Keiko left off, accepting both her teaching position at a local cram school and the bizarre arrangement of free lodging at a wealthy politician's mansion in exchange for reading to the man's catatonic wife. As he comes to know the figures in Akakawa, from the enigmatic politician to his fellow teachers and a rebellious, alluring student named Rio, Ren delves into his shared childhood with Keiko and what followed, trying to piece together what happened the night of her death. Haunted in his dreams by a young girl who is desperately trying to tell him something, Ren struggles to find solace in the void his sister has left behind"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
