Hikikomori and the Rental Sister: A Novel | 
So technically this is not about the tagged book, but it‘s so interesting I have to post it: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/04/30/japans-rent-a-family-industry This is a piece by Elif Batuman about rental families in Japan and it is truly fascinating.
ReadZenRites I really need to “rent” some grandparents for my daughter for the half of the year my own parents are down South. She could use their wise counsel all year long! 😁 6y
Smrloomis @ReadZenRites well, if you lived in Japan (and had a lot of money), she could have someone year-round! 6y
