It's been so long since I read this that I recall very little of the details. Likely because so much of it was told in the almost dreamlike cadence of a buried memory.
I did remember the account of CSA. But not the other extremely distressing details of detainment, racism and hate.

Years ago, Obasan was the assigned text for my middle school English class. Now, I don't think most middle school students today could handle the concepts, message or the vocabulary laid out in this book.
And there's a bit of a tragedy there, that this book, meant for young people and with an important message, is now too hard for it to even be assigned.

This has been on my reread list for a little bit. And there was an audiobook available via my local library. And after the rush of Quicksilver, something a little more contemplative seemed in the cards.
Although I wanted to jump right into Brimstone after finishing Quicksilver.
