A review by nicolekukral
The Perfect World of Miwako Sumida by Clarissa Goenawan
5.0
I received a copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Some books stay with you long after you turn the last page, and this is one of those books for me.
Set mostly in Tokyo after Miwako Sumida, the titular character in this book, dies by suicide, we follow the stories of the three people closest to her. Each one has a story that brings us closer to understanding Miwako’s sudden, tragic, and unexpected death.
Told with complexity and sensitivity, this book takes readers on a journey that has several surprising twists in the last few pages. Amid the tragic story of Miwako’s death, the book leaves the characters in the book—as well as readers—with plenty of hope.
