I found it difficult to find the version I read here in Goodreads (I certainly didn’t read it in Japanese).

Beautifully told story which made me want to explore Japanese food, onsen and countryside. Kawakami is herself a Sensei, a master, of intimation and literary constraint.

Sobria novela sobre la historia de amor maduro entre un hombre en la tercera edad y una mujer de edad mediana. A algunos les parecerá lenta pero a mí me parece interesante la manera en que va evolucionando la relación, las cosas van cambiando y las barreras cayendo. El punto de vista femenino es muy interesante pues en ningún momento trata de alardear como a veces hacen los escritores hombres. A veces me incomoda tener como intermediaria una traducción que no usa el castellano como yo lo usaría, pero es difícil de evitar, a menos que aprenda japonés. Tampoco me queda claro el título en español, que sospecho tiene muy poco que ver con el título original.

Book Bingo 2025 - Intergenerational Friendship (last book of the season!!) Also for book club. 

Interesting, sweet, episodic in nature. I just struggle too much with age gap relationships to have truly enjoyed.
