La narrativa, maravillosa, la historia engancha pero está algo vacía, el romance extramatromonial que presenta no ha llegado a convencerme. He encontrado más cariño en el personaje Hélène, la esposa, que en cualquier otro, a pesar de aparecer brevemente y tener más protagonismo en las últimas páginas (no haré spoiler). Es un libro que, además, está ambientado a mediados y finales de 1800, por lo que algunas frases o dichos han de leerse con pensamiento crítico, de forma objetiva.
Aunque no he encontrado lo que esperaba, tampoco ha dejado mal sabor de boca, la escritura es una delicia y me gustaría continuar leyendo otras obras del autor solo por su forma de relatar.

I probably wouldn't finish this if it had more pages than it did. Now it was okay. I kept getting déjà vu every five pages, because I swear I've read the same sentence just a moment back. The first time it happened I even checked if it's not some kind of print error. I don't know if all the beauty (I mean, tons of reviews claim it's beautifully written) got lost in translation or I wouldn't be able to find it despite the language I was reading this book in, but to me it was just a short story coated in poetic words.

Ovo je pravi primer knjiga koje zovem čiklit. Nagoveštaj jeftine erotike zavijen u istorijski kontekst da učini ovo "ozbiljnom" književnošću.
Sve imamo tu; zbunjeni oženjeni čovek koji se zaljubljuje u ljubavnicu japanskog trgovca (koja, hah, nije Japanka). Zabranjeno voće, razmenjivanje tajne poruke, sugestivna ritualna kupanja, žena kod kuće koja ga moli da joj se vrati... Ozbiljno?
Vrhunac (pun not intended) svega je najlošije napisano pismo u istoriji književnosti i najgluplji plot twist u istoriji književnosti.
Kad malo bolje razmislim daću ovome jedinicu.

Este libro marcó mi historia lectora, me sorprendió y me dejó pensando mucho sobre él destino. Veces siento que el destino es algo que no podemos mover pero tal vez ese pensamiento está equivocado
