A review by ameeg
The Lake by Banana Yoshimoto
5.0
i wish i knew how to write about the books i read. i will remember the atmosphere of this book and how it made me feel, but i wish i could put it into words. partly because these are things i enjoy looking back on, even if sometimes i cringe.
yoshimoto’s prose is so comforting to me. it feels familiar, like my own thoughts, and is easy to get swept away by. there seem to be no big pretences but there is so much precision and artistry in the simplicity of a story. it has a heavy weight to it that isn’t oppressive at all
