I read a lot of mixed reviews and I was a little aprehensive about this one, but I have to say that I really loved it!

I can see why a lot of people wouldn't like it. I wouldn't recommend it for everyone, but anyone who likes to journey into the different ways that people think or interpret the world around them should read this book.

Written by a Professor of Philosophy, this wasn’t an easily accessible read although I did enjoy the food descriptions. I will be seeking out la chouquette.

Complex feelings. I enjoyed some elements but was put off by the language about other people. I think maybe I like the book I imagined before reading it.

Haru, un exitoso marchante de arte de Kioto, cae rendido ante el encanto de una bellísima francesa que está de paso por la ciudad. Tiempo después, recibe un impactante mensaje por el que se le prohíbe acercarse al bebe nacido de su aventura. Dividido entre la emoción y la responsabilidad, Haru logrará mantener la terrible promesa de vivir alejado para siempre del ser al que más ama gracias a su singular grupo de amigos.

Cargada de drama y belleza, esta intensa novela no es solo un canto al amor incondicional sino también a los lazos que van más allá de la familia tradicional, a los amigos que nos sostienen y nos alientan, con quienes celebramos nuestros triunfos y reconstruimos una y otra vez nuestras vidas frente a la derrota.

Autora de una delicadeza y elegancia inimitables, Muriel Barbery nos transporta a un Japón maravilloso lleno de contradicciones
