Review :
A surge of Japanese women are redefining their nation's literature Strange and beautiful. Imagine the offspring of The Wind-up Bird Chronicle with The Virgin Suicides A moving, reflective and surprising novel... anyone who has ever struggled with feeling isolated, had difficulties at school, or had mental health struggles, will find this novel to be a cleansing balm. Neat twists and a genuinely affecting denouement. A story of empathy, collaboration and sharing truths, this is 'a modern, all-ages fairy tale' that should appeal to fans of Neil Gaiman and Studio Ghibli animations There's a warmth to her writing, and Tsujimura has a mature ability to allow the story to speak for itself without narrative An original and tender blend of social commentary and magical realism A worthwhile novel
