A review by unicornmistyy
Asleep by Banana Yoshimoto

emotional reflective

4.5

A quietly devastating collection of short stories that really resonated with me. With grief as a central theme, it is hardly uplifting. Rather, Yoshimoto left me feeling seen — less alone in the dark. Especially the start of the second story — "Love Songs" affected me, though I holistically prerred both the first and third stories.
