Kawakami narrates the story of a lonely woman experiencing depression.
It truly embodies the experience that many of us may have had: taking up the least amount of space, almost being sorry for your existence as if it were a burden for others to even witness.
As a reader, it is clear to me that Kawakami has chosen the words in this book intently, carefully crafting All The Lovers In The Night.
What I didn't like about the book was the lack of character development in the last chapter. Moreover, it has felt like there wasn't much of a resolution to the story at the end of the book.
