The writing was sharp and the tone was sad, but I found the plot lacking. I kept struggling to figure out what this book was really about... here's what I came up with: love, family, growing up, how we handle adversity, and acceptance.

3.5/5 ⭐️ • I feel like if I reread this, I’d give it a higher rating. Why?

este libro lo leí en español, mientras al mismo tiempo leía the wind-up bird chronicle de murakami.
a pesar de que es corto, lo disfruté bastante. abunda en diálogo y las descripciones son precisas, en sí la lectura es ligera. un elemento que resalta mucho es el mono no aware, inherente a la cultura japonesa. es la primera vez que me veo frente a este tipo de estética y me gustó. por otro lado, no miré la contraportada antes de entear de lleno en el texto, así que el final me tomó por sorpresa.

I've really enjoyed the two books of Banana Yoshimoto I have read. They are easy to read and delicate in the storytelling though the matter can be intense at times. Look forward to sourcing some more by this author.

Đọc xong Hồ trong vỏn vẹn một ngày, mình chưa đọc cuốn nào nhanh như thế. Chắc tại Hồ buồn, muốn đọc leo lẻo cho qua đi mấy thứ lắt léo mềm mại chơi vơi trong đó.
Trang 2 cuốn sách nói Banana thường kết có hậu. Cuốn này quả là như vậy, mặc dù chẳng biết cuối cùng kinh đô ánh sáng có vẽ đôi trai gái thành một thứ màu khác. Như Darcy và Elizabeth thực ra kết hôn xong vài chục năm lại có thể đã đường ai đấy đi.
Khà khà.

I will mostly remember The Lake as the book I read in Stanley Park.

Global Read Challenge 11: Japan
I should not have read the back of the book before reading this because the cult plays a minor part and is introduced pretty late in the book. I would have enjoyed the book much more if I had to piece things together myself and wasn't always waiting for the cult drama. There were some really cool parts and overall the book was a pretty quick fun read.
