Creo que la autora tenía la meta de crear una atmósfera, más que de contar una historia, y de ser así, ciertamente lo logró. No es mi libro favorito de Banana Yoshimoto; Kitchen me parece muchísimo mejor. No obstante, creo que es un libro interesante, en particular en cuanto a la creación de esa atmósfera que tiene elementos de la costa, de la playa, tanto como de la adolescencia y del paso a la adultez.
Tengo problemas con algo que creo que pertenece al estilo de Banana, y es el salto en el uso de tiempos verbales, describiendo una misma escena con verbos en presente y en pasado. En otros casos quizás quede bien logrado; no creo que en su caso sea así. No pienso que sea un problema de traducción, a menos que la misma traductora trabaje todos sus libros.

really comforting. i loved the "sloce of life" it gave me as a distraction from my own life. i needed something easy to digest and I think this was the perfect book to just chill and read. not a lot of story was put into it but that's okay, I liked it nonetheless.
