There is some beautiful wordsmithing in this collection, but only in a couple of stories did I feel fully connected and present. There is an ethereal quality that reminds me of Murakami, but I didn‘t fall into them the same way.

erzascarletbookgasm I haven‘t read this. I‘ve read his other book, The Snow Hunters, it was like what you said, atmospheric and ethereal descriptions. 7y
Tamra @erzascarletbookgasm I have that one on my nightstand. I won‘t read it right away, am hoping it‘s enjoyable. 7y

This month's book club pick is me breakfast reading this morning.

shawnmooney Is it set on Jeju Island? The plot summary only refers to a "Korean island"… 9y
Joanne1 @shawnmooney I haven't read them all yet but flicking through some of the stories I haven't read yet one mentioned Solla Island. 9y
