a weird sort of non-story. I so wanted it to be like the vegetarian but it just didn't resonate with me at all.

Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto

I didn’t really enjoy Kitchen. I found the language to be disjointed and just couldn’t immerse myself into the story or the characters. But Moonlight Shadow, oh my god it is stunning. Absolutely loved it. The language, the simplicity but yet searing in its portrayal of loss and grief over ‘what could have been’.
