Another look at the Japanese fairytale about marrying a crane, this time set in contemporary Great Britain.
Pretty, but it failed to capture me. For long stretches, I couldn‘t wait for it to be over. Part of it was two cheating subplots (my personal pet peeve: I hate cheating in books). The other issue was that—for some unfathomable reason—the plot took away from the characters…?
And it was all about characters. Or—it was supposed to be.
