more “Translucent Tree†by Nobuko Takagi is an absolutely lovely novel, albeit, a slight culture shock if the reader has not had a lot of exposure to Japanese culture. The novel centers on the love affair between Chigiri, a poor divorcée and Go, a news entrepreneur who met Chigiri when working on a story about Chigiri’s father, the local sword maker. Their paths, as implied by the author, were destined to meet, and change both of the worlds. A incredibly enjoyable read, very fast paced. Overall highly recommended.
