This book is truly a kick in the gut!

An important book to read. Is it Le Guin's angriest novel? Even if it is it is thought provoking.

Short and sweet!
3 and a half stars. It is a wonderful and fun book with some great premise.

Short and sweet. A typical classic Japanese novel with an emotional tale.

Talks about taboos around illnesses, and friendships beyond expectations.

Even if it is not a hardcore murder mystery, I was hooked on the narration throughout the book. The reveal in the end is also good and sums up things well.

Good read!

Love Indira Verma! Fantastic Narration of a fantastic story.

Everyone needs a Granny Weatherwax in their life!

Witty, wonderful, and love the new audiobooks from Penguin. Highly recommended to listen to audio version.

It was a moving read for me. Difficult topics handled so well.

Very optimistic but a positive start to 2024 reading for me!

Good insights to reflect upon!
Some gems in this book and all the real stories make these experiences shared much more believable and actionable!
