ohlhauc 's review for:

The Housekeeper and the Professor by Yōko Ogawa

emotional sad medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Strong character development: Complicated

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: No

A charming story about the relationship between a housekeeper, her son, and an elderly client who can't remember anything beyond 80min, that highlights the beauty of compassion, learning, and nurturing the relationships in your life. Ogawa's straightforward, simple, and poetic prose again shines but the story itself didn't leave any strong impact or reflection. It's a story to warm your heart when you're looking for something quick and cozy.
