pick#bookerlonglist #12
I loved this epic, character driven chunkster. Louisa goes walking on a Japanese beach with her father one night. Sometime later Louisa is found, barely alive. Her father is never found.
We look back at their lives, and those of other peripheral characters, & also at the post-war history of Japan / Korea and China, a period of time I don‘t know much about and found fascinating.
At the top of my list, alongside Seascraper.
TheKidUpstairs Great review! I've got this one lined up next 👍😁 6d

Hooked_on_books I was originally going to avoid this one, as I HATED her last book. But this sounds completely different and also interesting to me. I have it on hold, so we‘ll see where I land on it! 3d
squirrelbrain @Hooked_on_books - I haven‘t read any of her authors so can‘t compare. I hope you like it! 🤞 3d
