Character
I read Revenge as this quarter's pick for my book club, and I went into it knowing pretty much nothing. I think this was a good approach, as I had no expectations or preconceived ideas before starting to read.
This is a series of eleven interconnected stories - some sad, some vengeful, all with a vein of darkness running through them.
The writing/translation was beautiful, even when dealing with the themes of loss and grief. I enjoyed seeing how the stories related to each other, whether ever so subtly or more obviously.
