Shizuko's Daughter

"A jewel of a book" revealing a young woman's coming of age after the death of her mother is "a work of art" (New York Times Book Review, A New York Times Notable Book). After her mother's suicide when she is twelve years old, Yuki spends years living with her distant father and his resentful new wife, cut off from her mother's family, and relying on her own inner strength to cope with the tragedy. "A cast of three-dimensional characters, keen imagery and attention to detail produce an emotionally and culturally rich tale tracing the evolution of despair into hope." —Publishers Weekly, starred review "Lyrical . . . A beautifully written book." —Kirkus Reviews
