No one writes about death and grief like Yoshimoto does. Indeed her books are not for everyone, they make you uncomfortable and question the characters but after reading the 3rd book by her, a few things have been clear and I understand the characters. Some times they hit too close to home and it’s scary but it compels me to continue reading. Still trying to gather mu thoughts about the book and the characters. Hopefully I’ll add some more details.
