Ups.
Esperaba que me encantara --al principio lo estaba haciendo-- y sin embargo, aunque ha habido cosas de la narración y su estructura que me han gustado mucho, mi sensación final ha sido extraña.
Supongo que va a ser de esas lecturas de las que necesitaré que pase el tiempo para poder juzgarla con justicia.

lo siento un montón no me ha gustao nada o sea tiene frases chulas pero uf
se nota demasiado que hace mazo que no leo libros escritos por hombres porque real que no he aguantado ni al protagonista ni al autor
no es tanto lo que pasa per se es cómo se trata lo que pasa y cómo habla de ello y qué sentido le da o le deja de dar no sé me ha parecido literal un señor hablando de cosas de señores desde una perspectiva de señor para que lo lean señores y me ha dado bastante pereza

2.5 stars, perhaps? This story is simply written, and if you think about it, not much happens plot-wise. It's basically about a man who travels to Japan multiple times for his silk worm business, and is immediately attracted to a woman he meets but who he never exchanges a single spoken word with. This book is... odd. The writing is sparse, simple, and detached, yet somewhat repetitive. The reader is given very few details about the man's life, or his mindset, or the historical setting, or the silk worm business. Yet the book has its own sense of the poetic at times, conveying feelings of longing and wonderings of 'what could have been.' There's also a twist at the end that I didn't pick up on. However, this story revolves around someone who is married and essentially cheating on his wife (if not physically, then mentally/emotionally), which is something I generally don't like to read about in my books. The reader is kept at a distance from Herve's thoughts and intentions, so I never understood why he was making the choices he was (he seemed to love his wife very much, after all). There was also an aspect of the story that was made much of but never explained ().
Plus, Herve continually refers to the woman he meets in Japan as having the "face of a girl", and as he is obviously attracted to her, this came across as kinda...icky.

we never find out how the young woman who was not of Japanese heritage ended up in JapanPlus, Herve continually refers to the woman he meets in Japan as having the "face of a girl", and as he is obviously attracted to her, this came across as kinda...icky.
Para ser sincera elegí el libro de la típica lista '10 libros cortos que..' para ponerme al día con el reto y te lo lees en una sentada o en un par de trayectos de metro.
No es del tipo de lo que suelo leer y realmente no me interesan los gusanos de seda pero se deja leer. Es un poco raruno pero no se hace aburrido (quizás porque es corto) pero tampoco se si me ha gustado.
Ni si lo recomendaría. O sí.
