One I‘m still puzzling over! Taki is maid to the Hirai family in Tokyo in the lead up to WW2 and looks back on her life with them in their little house with the red tiled roof. I‘ve been enjoying some Japanese fiction in translation and loved the premise of this but initially found it falling oddly flat. Yet then in the final third things start to be explained and almost another story emerges, leaving me feeling quite emotional.
