The Nakano Thrift Shop

Well there isn't a plot, so that was a problem for me.

Once again Ms. Kawakami utilizes her broken characters to the full extent and it's not just the characters it is also in interpersonal relationships.
This is the third novel by Ms Kawakami I have read in the past six months, I admit that sometimes I get frustrated with it but I go back later persevering with it.
Next is The 10 Loves of Mr Nishino.

Una historia de la vida cotidiana, amor real... lo que me gusta de Hiromi es que logra contarte algo súper común de una manera muy bonita.

Esta autora no es para lectores desesperados que buscan sorpresas en cada página. Hay que tenerle paciencia y saber detectar los detalles.

En general este libro es bueno aunque la traducción no fue mi favorita -tiene mejores obras a mi parecer- pero creo que nos entrega otra historia tranquila y bella

I'm not sure why the author gets compared to Murakami. Still, this book was a lightweight slice-of-life.

This is a book without a “real” plot. Nothing much happens throughout the book. It is the description of the characters that drives the story forward. I adore Kawakami's writing style and was entertained from start to finish.
