a slice of life story about a woman and her mother on a city break. we get flashbacks throughout, writing is simple but poignant. a short and calming read !
« The only question she’d asked once was whether, in winter, it was cold enough for snow, which she had never seen. »

"Cold Enough for Snow" by Jessica Au is a poignant exploration of family dynamics and cultural identity. Set in Australia and Japan, it delicately weaves together the lives of its characters, revealing their struggles, dreams, and the complexities of relationships. Au's prose is elegant, evoking a sense of longing and introspection with just a hint of melancholy.

Found it hard to read because there’s not really a plot - probably read it at the wrong time

I think this is one that with a reread or with more reflection I would enjoy it more.
The parts near the end that focused more on the mother daughter relationship were my favourite - the memories throughout were interesting but I wasn't really sure what they were contributing to the story. I guess something to be said about us getting these instead of really any conversation between mother and daughter.
