pickOur #LiteReads week of The Woman Dies by Aoko Matsuda and translated to English from Japanese by Polly Barton is finished.

pickThe unknown narrator is going to visit the girl who is getting married and as she's climbing the 5 stories to her apartment she's remembering other times with the girl or maybe she is the girl or maybe she's a ghost of the girls mother. I not really sure but I enjoyed the journey.
