It took me a little while to get into this book but it was well worth persevering. It consists of the parallel narratives of two women; Nao in Japan and her diary that is found washed up on the beach by Ruth, a writer, who lives on an island off the West Coast of Canada. It is in the main the unravelling of the mystery surrounding the diary but also about our shared humanity and history.
