Ruth moved from New York City to Canada since it was an easier place to care for her sick husband and dying mother but now feels the move was “a withdrawal” and is finding it hard to write. Nao wants to “drop out of time” so does her father, a computer programmer who spent 10 years in California’s Silicon Valley before the dot-com bust apparently sent the family back to Tokyo and subjected Nao to vicious bullying at school. The book contains 16-year-old Nao’s diary, bound within the covers of Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time-and that’s no accident, since both funny, grieving Nao and blocked, homesick Ruth are obsessed with time: how it passes, how we live in it. On the beach of an island off British Columbia’s coast, Ruth finds a Hello Kitty lunchbox containing a stack of letters and a red book. Ozeki’s magnificent third novel ( All Over Creation, 2003, etc.) brings together a Japanese girl’s diary and a transplanted American novelist to meditate on everything from bullying to the nature of conscience and the meaning of life.

The book revealed how these diseases and a number of other health problems are linked to a tiny protein fragment that is formed during the digestion of the A1 beta-casein, a milk protein produced by cows in New Zealand, Australia and many other western countries. The story starts with the remarkable epidemiological evidence demonstrating the strong association between countries that have a high intake of A1 milk and a high incidence of both Type 1 diabetes and heart disease.
