The structure and length of the sentences make the book very challenging to read. I should probably put it down and wait until I've reached a higher level of literacy. But even though I miss a lot of what is going on I can recognize some beautiful descriptions.

One of the stories is "Kitchen," or at least part of it. Another is "Miira," which is in "Read Real Japanese Fiction" with extensive annotations. Because this volume is part of a series titled "はじめての文字” I thought it would be for kids but it's both linguistically challenging and mature in its themes.
