Read during #RushAThon for #DucerseCozy
I‘m giving a soft pick for this first book in this series. (Mas Arai) (Apparently there are 7 books from 2004-2018). I liked it overall & liked Mas, a gardener in Los Angeles, a Hiroshima bomb survivor & a widower. I found the book somewhat disjointed & part of that was Mas‘s dialect- kind of pidgin Japanese phrases that made it hard to follow at times + the number of characters & keeping them straight. ⬇️
