Much of the dialogue is in Yumiko's head, and there are some extended passages that are basically just dreams. The story then follows Yumiko as she heads home, visiting with family, and dealing with her father's funeral.
But early in the story, she gets a call from her brother saying that their father just died in an accident. She's got a decent life, living with her fiancé and working as a designer in London with some of her friends. The story is about a young Japanese woman, Yumiko, who moved to England about a decade ago.
Fumio Obata's Just So Happens was published last year in the UK and back in March here in the US, but I only just stumbled across it in the bookstore.
