A review by vanmeers
Gifted by Suzumi Suzuki

3.0

i didn’t totally vibe with this one but it still managed to keep my attention during its 120 page story of a woman taking care of her mum while also living/working in the red light district of tokyo. the complicated relationship between mother and daughter was perfectly captured and really gave depth to the struggles of grieving a dying parent. 

if you’re into literary fiction, grief fiction and stories of sex workers and their lives this might be just your thing!
