Despite being a fan of Japanese fiction, I am apparently out of the loop because I had never heard of this book, which is apparently a worldwide bestseller, before it became a book club choice. This book was right up my street. I won't describe the plot or anything, but to sum up, it grapples with the eternal question of what you might change if you could go back in time.
Although this is a novel, apparently the author is a playwright, and this was originally a stage play. I think that showed in many aspects, but it also probably contributed to the very quiet and calming feeling I had when reading. Recommended.
