Then, at key junctures, Banana Yoshimoto turns around and reminds the reader that a little tidbit of information that the reader might have overlooked, hence, drawing a connection between the reader and Sakumi by depicting a sense of novelty mixed with familiarity. Another strength of the novel is the richness of its characters. Authors: Banana Yoshimoto. Title: Amrita. Publication Date: Aug 1 Condition: Used - Good.
