A review by librovermo
The Woman in the Purple Skirt by Natsuko Imamura
4.5
I picked this up on a whim thinking it sounded interesting and I was not at all disappointed. It was different from anything else I typically read and I really enjoyed it.
When I read a book (or watch a movie/tv show) about a stalker, it tends to be about sexual attraction, ex lovers, etc. This one was just about The (lonely) Woman in the Yellow Cardigan obsessing over how much she wanted to be The Woman in the Purple Skirt’s friend. It was kind of sweet in that way. Well, as sweet as a story about a stalker can be. Although, the book wasn’t really about The Woman in the Yellow Cardigan. We don’t even get many details about her, we mostly get information about The Woman in the Purple Skirt, as if the book is just about her and The Woman in the Yellow Cardigan is simply a subjective narrator. A great quick read!
