A review by roniboi
The Japanese Lover by Isabel Allende

Did not finish book. Stopped at 0%.

I can stand Allende's novels. I read House of the Spirits and gaslit myself into thinking I liked it, even if it left me with an icky feeling. Her books give this false idea of female solidarity while promoting female complacency without being aware of that. Everything feels like its written for the male gaze, not for women and I HATE it. I can't stand it. I don't even know if this is an unpopular opinion and I don't care.
