Next to Haruki Murakami, Todd Shimoda is the second Japanese author I was able to read. This talks about Tina Suzuki who was born and raised in America, without knowing anything about her roots including her father. Growing up, she was never bothered about learning her home country, the culture, and her biological father. Her PhD dissertation inevitably led her to the discovery and unveiling of the past that her mother had kept from her for more than two decades. I appreciated how Shimoda elucidated Japanese culture by his explanation of the magnificent Jap calligraphy.
