So much pain...
A woman looking back on her life, reliving and re-feeling some of the most relevant passages, with so much unhealed pain on so many levels, paired with an interesting psyche and a certain matter-of-factness. The end was more hopeful than I had imagined - a very Japanese ending in fact. The story touched on interesting aspects, but I found it way too repetitive and long-winding.
The type of narrative was really interesting, for the most part it felt like the author was with the protagonist at all times, observing them and having a dialogue with them, which felt a bit like a non-fiction interview to me and made everything so much more real.
