A race against time with a Maths world to doscover

5 stars

Wonderful story placed in Japan that mixes families with different types of difficulties, maths, baseball and a race against time. Yoko Ogawa (小川洋子) describes every single aspect of those relationships, the atmosphere (that you can even smell it) and the excitement that maths can produce in people of different ages.
