I am passionate about in-depth character development because itās something I strive for in my own writing. Humans are very complex creatures who are capable of a full range of responses on any given day, moment, or set of circumstances. Offering readers an opportunity to consider what motivates characters to behave in the ways they do makes a story worth sinking your teeth into. I think making these kinds of considerations about characters who are not real also opens up our collective ability to exercise our empathy muscles in real life. These days, we need that more than ever.
The masculine voice in this novel is absolutely masterful. Itās tender, nuanced, earnest, and intelligent. Stegner offers a sweeping, unflinching story about friendships, marriage, the human ego, and the passage of time with a set of characters who are flawed, fragile, and therefore, very believable.

Tender-hearted Tsukuru nearly dies under the weight of sudden abandonment by those he holds most dear. As for myself, I think I will always hold Tsukuru close to my heart.
