A surreal, dreamlike read about childhoods full of abuse - emotional, mostly, but not exclusively – and how that shapes the future of the people affected.
Natsuki is a pensive child who feels she doesn't fit in – into her family as a child, into society and human life as an adult. The childhood friendship/relationship with her cousin Yuu and her family's reaction to an occurrence on a summer night affects & alters her whole life.
...

Yuki_Onna Disconnectedness, aliens, humanity, sexuality, escapism, pressures and expectations of society, family ties gone wrong, fertility, different ways of perception, dreams, murder, detachedness, pure concepts of life on this planet, delusion, cannibalism all blend together in this brutal disgusting gorgeous gem of a book. Dark, brave, gritty.
4,5****
(check for your Trigger Warnings before picking it up - there are tons of them!!!)

Jep, I know. A movie, not a book...
It was in the Litsy database, though, and the only title I could think of in my collection with 'Lost'...
And a perfect occasion to post in memoriam of Robert Blake, who passed away March 9, 2023 & who played creepy unforgettable 'Mystery Man' in this movie...
