Lizard by Banana Yoshimoto

4.0

relaxing sad

banana yoshimoto wrote this to explore time, healing, karma and fate. she also wrote “i believe that we are not born with hope, but rather it comes to us as a transforming force”. i’ve never been so invested in seeing how hope is discovered for the first time in these characters, even how much they doubted the arrival of hope. i need more slice of life books like this!
