Nonostante l'incredibile dolcezza della Yoshimoto nel descrivere attimi di vita quotidiana senza trascurarne il realismo, non mi ha entusiasmata.

Il colpo di fulmine con questa autrice risale ai tempi delle superiori. Questo libro ha riacceso quella fiamma dimenticata. Tsugumi racconta di un'estate, o meglio, di un'ultima estate prima che tutto cambi. Si riesce a percepire l'amore per le proprie origini, per i luoghi in cui si è cresciuti. Domina l'amicizia e la voglia di vivere.
Una Yoshimoto estremamente semplice e pulita, forse più leggera e spensierata del solito. Perfetto come primo approccio al suo stile.

BOAK! This was more drivel that I wished I hadn't wasted by time on. Maria goes to spend the summer with her sick cousin Tsugumi in the seaside town that she used to call home. It is meant to be about their complicated relationship and Maria getting used to the idea of losing her cousin. Well Tsugumi was a spoiled, whiny, bitchy, cruel little madam who needed a good smack and Maria the doormat really annoyed me for just taking all that crap from her cousin. This was boring and irritating and I won't be going near this author again!

Questa è la storia di un'estate che sa di addio: all'adolescenza, a un albergo, a una vita...
