Fin berättelse om relationer. Dess ytlighet, distans, det osynliga bandet som binder oss samman oavsett om vi ser det eller ej

Idk how I feel about this book (woah deja vu much but this time different) but in a complimentary type of way. Idk. Like the synopsis says who’s doing the talking, what’s the reason behind this trip, will we ever know? Eh prbly knot and I’m ok with that. And I think that’s why I liked the book.

This is beautifully written, but it left me wanting more. The relationship between the mother and narrator daughter is complicated; there is a distance between them on a deep emotional level, even though they have a perfectly normal surface-level relationship. The daughter wants to bridge this gap, but at the same time she is a passive observer, watching her mother as if she is a fly on the wall. There's lots of internalised contemplation as the daughter remembers her childhood, and snippets from her mother's past, but for the most part this is just two ghostly figures shifting around each other, and Japan.
