Bleakness in post-war Japan
This book is a wild ride, and it is pretty bleak. However, the writing is great, and the story does interesting things with both family history (misremembering in order to guard a legacy, discoveries that reframe a family story that everyone thought they understood) and Japanese history. I looked up some of the historical references, but it wasn't really a requirement to follow the story.
