“Ozeki masterfully mixes a cocktail of human emotions and their coinciding actions. Furthermore, her wordsmithing is hard to beat...This story is about the power of possessing. Yet it is also about the power that possessions have over us as humans. This story is about loss. Yet it is also about finding something new in the midst of absence derived from tragedy. This story is about mental illness. Yet it is also about the beauty of creativity, imagination and the profound mysteries of this world.”
