![]() ![]() The place I like best in this world is the kitchen. Kitchen was her debut and I found it impressive how she in such a short story with relatively sparse dialogue conveys the relationship between the main characters and makes it more meaningful than some writers manage to do over hundreds of pages. Eriko, in particular, was an interesting and colourful personality with some insightful views on life.īanana Yoshimoto is clearly a talented writer. Mikage, Yuichi and Eriko were lovely and engaging characters and they all walked right into my heart without even trying. ![]() ![]() I don’t know why, but it seems that Japanese authors often have that effect on me. Throughout the novella I was transported to a different state of mind filled with melancholy and beauty in an almost other-worldly sense.

Within these few pages Yoshimoto tells a beautiful story about dealing with bereavement, finding hope, love, being yourself and supporting others. ![]()
