"A clever, elegantly told story about Japanese young offenders who are taken on a pilgrimage of Shikoku. The style is simple, but potent and poses many questions about philosophy and Japanese society. It is entered as a book for Young Adults, but the judges felt it would be more suitably be categorised as an adult novel. There is much to admire here."
