This would be the second book of fiction that I have read which have Japanese-life elements into them. I am currently looking into travelling to Japan so this comes in handy as part of my research. I have not read this one but I have read The Perfect World of Wimako Sumida, which was the only book by Goenawan available at my local library. Not Ryusei, the guy she likes and loves her, not even Chie and Sachiko, her two best friends. Anyway, the book they were reviewing was Watersong. A novel that lingers in the mind thanks to its poetic delivery, layering of ideas and an engrossing tale, all led by vivid characters. This mystery novel is about a uni student named Miwako Sumida (obviously) who committed suicide. She is an author who is obsessed with Japan but I’m not sure if she has actually lived there. She’s an Indonesian-born Singaporean who writes stories based in Japan about Japanese characters. Read honest and unbiased product reviews from our users.
