I picked this after listening to a review on CBC…. and it did live up to the commenter’s viewpoint. Will have to add Ruth Orzeki’s other works!!! OH … and I NEVER read the end before the end.

You enjoyed this! 🙂 I’m so happy. I keep trying to think of other books with a similar tone and I come up short. Jiko is such a wonderful character.
