4/5 ★ the story was very unsettling. as i kept reading, i got this sense of impending doom, but i couldn’t do anything about it. i’m looking forward to reading more of yōko ogawa’s other works.

It was rather confusing to read, don’t get me wrong I enjoyed it very much, it made me think about the importance of memories and the value of random things. But at the same time the book was referring to authoritarian regimes, about how easy it is to endure bad things because there is no other option, no light at the end of the tunnel.
All in all it’s a must read for me:)
