A novella that is primarily about loss and grief but also about hope, comfort, and true love. (I will give a warning that one of the central characters is trans and tho the character is very beloved by the narrator, the book has some slightly dated language/thinking about being trans; edited to add that I recommend anyone who is concerned about this look up spoilers for the story before reading it)

a super short n sentimental read that also happens to be one of my favorite books of all time. i donโ€™t want to say too much about it (to maintain an element of surprise n whimsy), but it contains two different stories, with both touching upon processing grief and finding joy in the mundane. i love the way yoshimoto writes, with such an appreciation for the details in the world around her. if you end up reading this one, iโ€™d love to know what you think <3 happy reading!
