I’d heard the hype around Yoshimoto’s book Kitchen, so was excited to give this author a try! The writing is exquisite, I love the character, and the set-up is great (family secret, haunting etc). But there’s an element to the family dynamic that really bothered me and I just couldn’t get past it. I just didn’t believe in/connect with that part of the story.
Having said that, I think you can really still enjoy a book without connecting with every single part of the narrative. I just directed my energy to the relationships I resonated with. It’s a very well-written narrative and I love the exploration of passive energy and power.
I love the writing style and am excited to read The Kitchen!
