To Mrs. Hopper, Yoshi Takahashi may be just another name from her daughters' past, but for Jean and her sister, Colette, he stands for much more. Years ago, Mr. Takahashi moved into their Toronto neighbourhood and sent the adolescent lives of Jean and Colette into a tailspin. They weren't content merely to befriend the Japanese pianist - in their infatuation they sought to mirror his life as closely as possible.
The enchantment lingers into adult life in ways both sisters are reluctant to recognize. This weekend they have been invited to an extravagant family celebration in Victoria, B.C. As the party gains momentum, so does the tension between the sisters. As before, the larger-than-life Mr. Takahashi casts his spell.
Originally published in 1985, A Certain Mr. Takahashi won the coveted Seal First Novel Award and the Books in Canada/W.H. Smith First Novel Award.

Certain Mr. Takahashi
I'd had this book for years before finally deciding to read it. The most accurate description I can give in a word: strange. I still don't understand what message/point the author was trying to get across. It was also difficult to follow because the author repeatedly changed time and place and characters sometimes from one sentence to another but more often from paragraph to paragraph. It almost qualifies as a dystopian novel.
Did I like/enjoy the book? I'm not certain how to respond except to say I wanted to keep reading to find out if any of questions were resolved and if so how and were they satisfactorily resolved. NO to both questions.
