Welcome to Litsy!

This is my second Goenawan book; I love the slow, reflective quality of her writing. Like RAINBIRDS, this book also revolves around a central character whose suicide or murder leaves a mystery for loved ones to piece together.

The 80s Tokyo setting was great, and the rich characters were a delight. Although we know how the story ends, it still managed to surprise. Looking forward to her next book, WATERSONG. #japan #hoopla

The Perfect World Of Miwako Sumida falls in the murky middle of the Venn diagram between literary fiction and conventional mystery. Miwako Sumida is like the anti-Manic Pixie Dream Girl. This is a deep cut examination of what happens to a life left behind. My full review here: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/new-releases/

I enjoyed the author‘s earlier Rainbirds and this novel had the same slow unraveling and dreamy, ghostlike qualities. #ARC #Edelweiss

5/5⭐️
A beautiful read on friendship, love, grief and personal histories. Understated prose that conveys depth and intimacy reminiscent of Murakami. Loved it ♥️
