Stong 4 starts!!! Would give it 4,5!! It really takes you to travel with María to the summers of her memories (and yours).

Hard to know how well this has been translated. I did enjoy it but not sure how I feel about the ending.

Nonostante l'incredibile dolcezza della Yoshimoto nel descrivere attimi di vita quotidiana senza trascurarne il realismo, non mi ha entusiasmata.
