- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
Here's what's cool about this book: you can sum it up in a single sentence - single dad in Japan gets visit from estranged twin brother's Canadian widower - but that single sentence tells you what a complex emotional ride you're in for. On the surface, it seems like nothing much happens, but within that nothing much, everything happens. It's a beautiful story full of heart.
