|title= The Possibilities
|rating= 3.5
|genre= General Fiction
|summary= Sarah's son has just died in an avalanche and as such this is a book very much about bereavement and grieving and what next. It's odd to think that a basis of personal tragedy made this an intriguing read, but that was the case.

|summary=Last year I was lucky enough to review [[Beauty and Chaos: Slices and Morsels of Tokyo Life by Michael Pronko|Beauty and Chaos: Slices and Morsels of Tokyo Life]], Michael Pronko's first essay collection about his adopted city. I found that book to be full of insight and variety, so was delighted to be approached about reviewing his latest book, ''Motions and Moments'', which is a third set of essays (after ''Tokyo's Mystery Deepens''). Again the book is compiled from Pronko's ''Newsweek Japan'' articles, this time from 2011 onwards. All of the pieces have been reworked, but most of them remain short; 'Tokyo life is about spatial limitations,' Pronko wryly comments, and it's appropriate for his pieces to reflect that.
