3.25⭐️s. This is a beautifully told story. Very poetic, and it’s been a while since I’ve read poetry. It’s very slow as you follow a lot of the plot. It does come together. Recommend taking your time to appreciate it. Because it was slower, I didn’t connect well with it. Fabulous narration from Kenichiro Thomson. 5⭐️ Narration!
Shuichi is a forty-year-old illustrator who is returning to his family home due to his mother passing away. Enter Kenta. A six year old that has been taking things from the house. Kenya had built a relationship with Shuichi’s mother and didn’t want someone to take everything away. Over time, they form a bond through life in all its grief and difficulties. They will confront their pain and loss, but find hope and friendship. As they travel the the library of heartbeats.
Thank you to Laura Imai Messina, @netgalley, and RB Media for the advanced listened copy.
