Among some faces that will be familiar to readers of Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s previous novel, we will be introduced to: The man who goes back to see his best friend who died 22 years ago The son who was unable to attend his own mother’s funeral The man who travelled to see the girl who he could not marry The old detective who never gave his wife that gift . Within the four 40-60 page short stories were key facts embedded in the story that the author seemed to only reveal when the reader (me in this case) was already exasperated as to what the hell was going on…and then finally the author reveals something critical to understanding the story and then there are characters from previous stories in the collection flitting in and out (and you haven’t fully grasped who those characters were from the preceding stories), and there is a ghost in all of the stories…and fer chrissake this is the second BadRead book I have encountered in the past 2 days.This book is divided into 4 stories named The Best Friend,Mother and Son,The Lovers and The Married Couple featuring Gohtaro ,Yukio, Kurata and Kiyoshi.

Founded in 2018 by Willow Heath and Jess Esa, Books and Bao offers reviews of the most recent global fiction, poetry, and graphic novels along with inspiring cultural journeys.With a pale complexion and a complete lack of interest in the world around her, she was quietly reading a book. One was that there was nothing you could do while in the past that would change the present, no matter how hard you tried. In the book’s third story, it is revealed that the chair has the power to send people forward in time, as well as back. Overall I have enjoyed the two books in this series, hopefully if there is a third book the author can just say "the rules were explained" rather than listing them out one by one every single time.
