Butter by Asako Yuzuki
4.0

Butter is a book about food, misogyny, companionship, loneliness, love, family, and life. 
It's an incredibly slow read that's never particularly gripping, yet I never found it boring. It's a subtle book that takes its time to build upon itself and its intimate connection with the reader. 
Given it's subject matter, a surprisingly cosy read.
