A Tale for the Time Being

Wavered between 4 or 5 stars. Not a perfect book, but it has so many interesting layers and events that turn to out to be connected: suicide, Buddhism, the dot-com bubble burst, the 2011 tsunami, WWII, a diary that triggers it all off (still not sure how the diary traveled from Japan to the PNW, but just went with it). This book was suggested for the “Read a book wherein all point-of-view characters are people of color” category, and seems suitable as the two main POV characters are Japanese.
