Kakigori Summer

"This book transported me to a hot summer in coastal Japan, where three half-Japanese sisters gather at the family home after one of them has become a national scandal. What rings so true for me is that it not only explores the shifting dynamics of sisterhood, but also probes what it’s like to be a perpetual outsider in a place that you think of as home. The book is a summer treat that doesn’t melt away but continues to resonate after you put it down."
