Mary Yukari Waters' The Favorites
I suspect at least parts of this novel are autobiographical, as one of the main characters resembles Waters quite closely (physically, at least). Anyway, it starts off focusing on a young half-Japanese girl and her mother visiting family in Japan, then sort of expands to be about all the women in the family and their tangled relationships. I loved the first half but thought the last bits could have been fleshed out more. Still, great characters and descriptions. B+.
