I'm listening this as an audiobook, and the purposeful and peaceful pace of the narrator's life as the owner of a stationary and scribe shop in Japan is actually very grounding and soothing, in its curious way. There is very little plot action, but I don't miss it. I like how I feel like I am looking into a window at a concurrent life.

I thought this was merely a light read between heavier ones for me, but this quote is going stick with me: "One thing about caretakers is they are never caregree. Without our cares, we'd just be takers like everyone else." (p. 74)

Almost halfway through (my edition has only 304 pages) and I am still just reading on in hopes that everything will soon make sense!
