When I first started reading Float Up, Sing Down, I didn't think it was a worthwhile book, therefore I was disappointed. After reading a few short pieces, I saw subtle motifs that were expertly hidden. With love, growing older, dementia, passing away, memories, friendships, communities and wisdom. When the Japanese War veteran saw a Datsun automobile there was a poignant moment realizing time had moved on. An independent review for NetGalley / Bloomsbury Publishing
