Tough read. I read it through only because I was told this was a “ must read” series. Did not enjoy as much as I hoped and forced myself to plod along.

This book was confused in its direction. So many holes and plot points just muckled. Yes Muckled. As good a word as this book deserves.

I loved this book more for the historical lesson that the mystery of the plot. I had never heard of the atrocities that happen in Nanking. The different timelines tying in together was fun but ultimately I enjoyed the description of the Tokyo city and society more than the protagonist's past and why she needed to now what happened in Nanking.

Good look into how the crimes not only the victims and their families but how it affected his own family and circle of friends.
