it's very banana. it's so her. first of all, i adore her writing style, so this was just wonderful to read. it has some very typical banana yoshimoto literary elements, and i appreciate that. one thing that stands out about this novel is that the concept, theme, and storyline are very unique, which you can tell just by reading the blurb. and i liked that! i also loved the atmosphere and the writing, and the mysterious vibe this one had. it is definitely just a bit different compared to her other work. it would've been perfect, especially because i loved the ending, but. um. i just didn't like the incest subplot. because of course i didn't 😭
