By Natsuo Kirino
There is no easy way to describe this book. As all Kirino's books, I am not even sure how to put them in a genre. Case in point, her other books were in the Mystery section of the library and this one was in the Fiction. This story exposes the edges of identity in a gripping coming of age story of a group of school age girls. A murder in the neighborhood starts a chain of events that force each girl, in their own way, to look at themselves carefully. Each finding surprising pieces that don't always have a place to rest within them.
