Yoshimoto favors short novels that gradually reveal thin, almost
translucent layers of her characters' personalities. Her latest,
following in the style of earlier books such as Kitchen and Asleep,
is a careful examination of the relationship between two teenage
cousins in a seaside Japanese town. Maria Shirakawa is a thoughtful
young woman thrown by family circumstance (her parents never
married; with her mother, she is waiting for her father's divorce
from his current wife) into growing up with her cousin, Tsugumi
Yamamoto, in her aunt and uncle's small inn.
