This was a difficult novel for me because I never warmed to the two main characters, Yuki, the mother, and Jay, her son. I did like how the novel switched between the past and present, from Yuki's youth and choices, to Jay's present. Peppered with youth's folly, this novel begs the question: how does a mother leave her son? And answers: can a son forgive the abandonment? I plan to revisit the novel, maybe in audio form. Perhaps this will give me a better perspective in which to relate or draw a thread. Voices evoke empathy and can, sometimes, awaken locked memories. I will report back.
