Pull me under by kelly luce5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The novel's illuminating and palpably atmospheric descriptions of Japan and its culture, as well as its elegantly dynamic structure, call to mind both Ruth Ozeki's A Tale for the Time Being and David Guterson's Snow Falling on Cedars. ![]() There she is forced to confront her past in ways she never imagined, pushing herself, her relationships with her husband and daughter, and her own sense of who she is to the brink. Her father's death, along with a mysterious package that arrives on her doorstep in Boulder, Colorado, spurs her to return to Japan for the first time in twenty years. Rio, born Chizuru Akitani, is the Japanese American daughter of the revered violinist Hiro Akitani, a living national treasure in Japan and a man to whom Rio hasn't spoken since she left her home country for the United States and a new identity after her violent crime. Pull Me Under tells the story of Rio Silvestri, who, when she was twelve years old, fatally stabbed a school bully. From one of the most imaginative minds in fiction comes this searing new novel. ![]()
