Welcome to Litsy!

Enjoyable but nowhere near as magic as her other books. Still some of the language and imagery was pretty and the whimsical otherworldly vibe of Japan shone through

This has been the most disappointing of my #womenintranslation reads this month.
The characters were such a drag I didn't want to pick the book up. A book that should have taken me an afternoon to read stretched to over a week. The book revolves around the main character and her ill and rude cousin. I was annoyed by the amount of times the cousin called people stupid, idiot, ugly, dumb, and more. It was painful.

I had hoped to finish this a couple of days ago for G day but honestly it has been a bit of a slog. Will definitely finish it but I am wondering if this was the best Yoshimoto book to begin with.

This book is a master piece like always its pure Japanese. I don't wanna talk a lot about the story. But its super awesome and charming.
The book is narrated by a girl called Maria she told the story of her life in a village at the seaside along with her cousin Tsugumi. 🎆
The book very engaging and short. It's also a beautiful summer read.

I really truly loved this book!
It's an amazing book that talks about love, loss, grief, healing and moving on.

I loved every part of it and it's so highly recommended!
