knightwoods2 's review for:

The Woman in the Dunes by Kōbō Abe

3.0

challenging dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I didn't particularly care for the main character of the book. Misogyny was pervasive throughout the story, and this was rather difficult to look past. My hope was that there would be some strong character development later on, alas this was not the case. The plot was rather interesting however, and somehow kept me reading to the end regardless.
