I listened to Kim Jiyoung’s story in audiobook format and for me it was just okay. The author Cho Nam-Joo uses this story to illustrate a really important message though and I think this is worthwhile read, especially as it’s so short.

It’s clear that I’ve found my new favourite author. This is the third book I’ve read by Yoko Ogawa and I’ve enjoyed everyone. Ogawa is a beautifully simplistic story teller and these three short stories are dark but certainly worth a read – 4 stars.… Read More Book Review: The Diving Pool by Yōko Ogawa
“Hotel Iris” is a novella that’s opened a whole world of literature to me. Translated from Japanese, Ogawa tells a difficult story in a beautifully simply way.
