Yoshimoto packs a lot of detail and intrigue in this spare novel (with additional credit to Yoneda for her translation). A bestseller over three decades ago, readers familiar with Yoshimoto’s work will not want to miss this one. It is a welcomed addition to her oeuvre for English reading audiences and definitely worth the wait.
Yoshimoto’s (Kitchen) thoughtful exploration of grief and liminality is a sweet but occasionally thorny listen. An optional purchase for most libraries.
Short story readers and fans of Yoshimoto’s work will find much to love, but this powerful collection that may be better experienced in print than in audio.
