"The dual narratives of The Tokyo Suite grip the reader right from the opening chapters, which alternate between the points of view of a mother distracted by her job as an executive and the nanny who kidnaps the exec’s daughter. As this two-hander unfolds, Giovana Madalosso plays with the reader’s sympathies as both protagonists entangle themselves in the consequences of their bad choices. By the end, you’re certain the only path forward is tragedy, but instead you’ll be left thinking about what happens beyond the pages long after you close the book."
