Beskrivning

Banana Yoshimoto's novels have made her a sensation in Japan and all over the world, and Kitchen, the dazzling English-language debut that is still her best-loved book, is an enchantingly original and deeply affecting book about mothers, love, tragedy, and the power of the kitchen and home in the lives of a pair of free-spirited young women in contemporary Japan. Mikage, the heroine of Kitchen, is an orphan raised by her grandmother, who has passed away. Grieving, she is taken in by her friend Yoichi and his mother (who was once his father), Eriko. As the three of them form an improvised family that soon weathers its own tragic losses, Yoshimoto spins a lovely, evocative tale that recalls early Marguerite Duras. Kitchen and its companion story, "Moonlight Shadow," are elegant tales whose seeming simplicity is the ruse of a writer whose voice echoes in the mind and the soul.

Kitchen was a strange book I wasn't entirely prepared for. Both stories were short but powerful. It tapped into my experience of loss. But it also painted a beautiful picture of characters I didn't know. Even with the second shorter story I felt like I got to know each character with very little said about them. I too feel like I give openly like Hitoshi and Hiiragi and it's not something I've seen put into words before but I can feel it from the book. I'm not sure if Banana has other works but id be very interested in reading them especially if they were translated by Megan Backus.

Buku yang otomatis masuk daftar buku favoritku setelah baca bukunya.Orang bilang [b:Kitchen|58162885|Kitchen|Banana Yoshimoto|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1622005278l/58162885._SX50_.jpg|1543818] ini ceritanya sederhana, dan aku setuju. Tapi, selain itu dua kisah yang ada di buku ini sama-sama heartwarming. Dua-duanya sama-sama menceritakan kehilangan, dan dua-duanya juga bisa bikin aku merasa hangat. Rasanya kayak aku dibantu buat melihat dari sudut pandang lain yang sangat indah, membantu aku buat terus berjalan dan enggak menyerah menghadapi keadaan meskipun enggak sesuai dengan harapan kita.[a:Banana Yoshimoto|28229|Banana Yoshimoto|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1386368930p2/28229.jpg] sensei benar-benar mengemas bukunya ini dengan sangat indah. Rasanya enggak cukup buatku bilang buku ini indah cuma satu kali, karena buku ini memang seindah itu.

Nunca me imaginé que una historia sobre el duelo tendría un aura mágica, sin realmente ser un elemento de la historia.
