What is Lion Cross Point about?

How does a shy, traumatized boy overcome the shame, anger, & sadness that silence him? In Lion Cross Point, celebrated Japanese author Masatsugu Ono turns his gentle pen to the mind of 10-year-old Takeru, who arrives at his family’s home village amid a scorching summer, carrying memories of unspeakable acts against his mother & brother. As Takeru befriends Mitsuko, his new caretaker, & Saki, his spunky neighbor, he meets more of his mother’s old friends, discovering her history & inching toward a new idea of family & home. All the while he begins to see a strange figure called Bunji — the same name as a delicate young boy who mysteriously vanished long ago on the villages breathtaking coastline at Lion Cross Point. At once a subtle portrayal of a child’s sense of memory & community, an empowering exploration of how we find the words to encompass our trauma, & a spooky Japanese ghost story, Lion Cross Point is gripping & poignant, reminiscent of Kenzaburo Oe’s best work. Acts of heartless brutality mix with surprising moments of pure kindness, creating this utterly truthful, cathartic tale of an unforgettable young boy.°°° “Masatsugu Ono’s work vibrates with the sounds of voices who
