To get back to the Ruth of the novel, she is immediately drawn into the life of Naoko Yasutani, a 16-year-old who lives in Tokyo, where she and her parents moved when her computer-programmer father lost his job in Silicon Valley. How did she know just what resonated with me?
So it was, as well, with me as I read Ruth Ozeki’s novel, A Tale for the Time Being. So it was with Ruth, a writer who lives on a remote island in Desolation Sound, British Columbia, when she starts to read a diary she found washed up on the beach in a Hello Kitty lunchbox that also contained a packet of letters and a watch. Sometimes, very rarely, as you read a book, you get an eerie feeling that it was written just for you.
