Críticas:

For Ruth, Ozeki's tone is slightly worried and obsessive as she reads the diary aloud to her husband. She lends a note of childishness and forced cheerfulness to Nao and her (literally) purple prose. The intoned prayers of gratitude from Nao's great-grandmother, a feminist Buddhist nun, are genius. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award.

-- "AudioFile"

As we read Nao's story and the story of Ozeki's reading of it, as we go back and forth between the text and the notes, time expands for us. It opens up onto something resembling narrative eternity...page after page, slowly unfolding. And what a beautiful effect that is for a novel to create.

-- "NPR's All Things Considered (audio review)"

A powerful yarn of fate and parallel lives.

-- "Good Housekeeping"

Forget the proverbial message in a bottle: This Tale fractures cliches as it affirms the lifesaving power of words...[and] reinforces the pricelessness of the here and now.

-- "Elle"

Masterfully woven...Entwining Japanese language with WWII history, pop culture with Proust, Zen with quantum mechanics, Ozeki alternates between the voices of two women to produce a spellbinding tale.

-- "O, The Oprah Magazine"

Profoundly original, with authentic, touching characters and grand, encompassing themes, Ruth Ozeki's novel proves that truly great stories-like this one-can both deepen our understanding of self and remind us of our shared humanity.

-- "Deborah Harkness, New York Times bestselling author"

Delightful yet sometimes harrowing...Many of the elements of Nao's story-schoolgirl bullying, unemployed suicidal 'salarymen, ' kamikaze pilots-are among a Western reader's most familiar images of Japan, but in Nao's telling, refracted through Ruth's musings, they become fresh and immediate, occasionally searingly painful.

-- "New York Times Book Review"

Sixteen-year-old schoolgirl Nao Yasutani's voice is the heart and soul of this very satisfying book.

-- "USA Today"

Ozeki leaves us at a moment in time where, as in quantum physics, there are no absolutes in terms of past, present, and future. Just Nao. And that's such a pleasure.

-- "New York Daily News"

An intriguing, even beautiful narrative remarkable for its unusual but attentively structured plot...We go from one story line to the other, back and forth across the Pacific, but the reader never loses place or interest.

-- "Booklist (starred review)"
Reseña del editor:
A novelist on a remote island in the Pacific is linked to a bullied and depressed Tokyo teenager after discovering a Hello Kitty lunchbox that washed ashore.
