Strange Weather in Tokyo - Hiromi Kawakami


A colleague recommended this book to me for its great food imagery, and that is certainly the case, but it is also a sweet poignant read. A woman meets her high school teacher at a bar and slowly and quietly, love blooms. As they step around each other, and then closer together, you feel their loneliness and the blossoming of togetherness. A lovely atmospheric and ethereal read that left me dreamy.
