The eldest daughter of a Japanese woman living in England has committed suicide by hanging. It brings the woman back to events during her pregnancy in Nagasaki during the aftermath of the bombing and American occupation. This is an excellent first novel auguring the success of his later works. It is a must read if you have interest in contemporary literature.
