She has a gallery show of her art, a good job, and a good guy she plans to marry. The culture she grew up in seems very far away--until her brother phones with the news that their father has died. Yumiko returns to Tokyo and finds herself immersed in the rituals of death while also plunged into the rituals of life--fish bars, bullet trains, pagodas--as she confronts the question of where her future really lies. \u003ci\u003eJust So Happens \u003c\/i\u003edeals both gently and powerfully with grief, identity, and the pressure not to disappoint one's parents, even after they're gone, in a look at the relationships that build the foundation of our lives. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fumio Obata\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1419715968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781419715969\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harry N.
