Another audiobook plucked from the depths of my Scribd catalogue thanks to audiobook roulette. It was one of those catch 22 audiobooks for me, where I know a little way in that I’d enjoy it more as a print book, but I’m already hooked on the story so I’ll keep listening even though I know I’ll end up not enjoying it as much as I could 😭 It follows the lives of three generations of Japanese-Canadian women, but it jumps around POVs and time periods which made it tricky to follow on audio. I sort of just let the beautiful language wash over me and came away with more of a vague feeling of appreciation than any deep remembrances of the characters and their inner lives. A shame, but you never know, I might come back to it in print one day!
