Slow Paced Look at Marriage
If you like exciting thrills and twisty, turny mystery, then this is not the book for you. If you like slow paced, deep thinking, and reflective discussions on society, then you'll like it!
This book follows Kakeru as he looks for his missing fiance. To find out what happened to her he must delve into her past, and in doing so explores issues surrounding 婚活 (finding a spouse), familial pressure and control of children, and societal expectations surrounding marriage.
The biggest theme of all is, of course, what makes people prideful and what makes them good, and is one really better than the other, or can they equally hurt those around us.
This is a big chunky book, but I'm really glad I read it.
I think this is a great book for early N1 Japanese. There's a lot of advanced, but commonly used, kanji and vocabulary.
