This is a sweet little book… not quite a novel, maybe more connected vignettes? Surrounding a father-daughter team who run a restaurant that specializes in recreating a meal the customer is trying to remember from their past. Very cozy.

Food and memory are uniquely entwined. This is a sweet story of a father-daughter owned restaurant / food detective agency.
Weekly Report
I almost DNF Confessions of a Mask, but the second half improved enough to press onwards. Meanwhile I started the different books as my subway book: Bluebeard's First Wife, Winter in the Blood, and The Bitter Glass. Still reading 2666.
February #wrapup
Favorite book of the month is tagged but Stories on Rye is a favorite too. Still struggling a bit with a slump, it‘s been hard for me to focus on anything other than a graphic novel or a very short book. Hope this feeling ends soon, my books are pulling up.

This was an absolute pleasure to read. The relationship between Koishi & her father Nagare was such fun to read.
I loved that these stories show how entwined food & memory & family are all together for all these clients looking to recapture joy or comfort. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

A Passion for Living in the Present: A Conversation with Yuko Tsushima and Annie Ernaux - translated and edited by Lisa Hofmann-Kuroda: https://lithub.com/a-passion-for-living-in-the-present-a-conversation-with-yuko-...
This is a harrowing read. I kept wondering why doesn‘t anyone do anything for these kids? Are there no teachers around to help or has this bullying become so normalized that it‘s ignored? It‘s thought-provoking for sure, this book, it‘s uncomfortable and it‘s troubling.
Yes, I finished it, but that was not a "throw confetti" kind of ending. ?
