Mina's Matchbox
by Yōko Ogawa
I went into this book blind and thought it was going to have a very different plot. When we learned that Mina was sick and frail, I thought it was going to be a haunting story, where we learn that the fressy and the light room were health experiments trialed on Mina. Boy was I wrong.
Once I settled into the fact that it was an exploration of the mundane and childhood imagination and friendship I had a lot of fun reading it. Mina’s stories in the match boxes were my favourite. And the oddness of Pochiko.
I wish it were more poetically written to compliment the whimsical story.
