Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto
5.0
Grieving is such a difficult emotion to portray and Yoshimoto somehow was able to do it just right. It might as well be because she had gone through it, something she mentions in her preface.
People tend to forget that grief can be dealt with in many different ways and it’s not always by crying. I laughed a lot while reading and it was because the character knew how to pass by with humour rather than acknowledging the elephant in the room.
Yoshimoto paints a deeply sad scenario but also showcases some very human reactions which had made her piece so much more valuable to me.
Love reading it from start to finish!
