loveed this book it felt like a soft warm hug
Sentaro is the epitome of a lost adult ,he meets the sweetest old lady Tokue who teaches him how to make delicious sweet bean paste.
but it’s not really about sweet bean paste ,is it?
it’s how a small act can give you that spark in life again without you ever realizing
also gives a glimpse through the lives of those having Henson’s disease and how they are treated like outcasts to society even after they got well and were healed.
Truly an incredible book.
