Review

Rating: 5

this book came up when i searched for books similar to wild swans, which i had read a whiles back. i thought that the title and the summary inferred that it would be short romantic stories about post war japan, but it just ended up to be a sad twisted version of aesop’s fabels with incoherent asian similies. i liked it in the beginning, when there was still hope for sex to emerge inthe book, but after a while, i skimmed, and quickly finished the book when it was apparent that it would keep telling the same stories over with different names and settings. Nice try, but no.
