I’m so transfixed! This book is so good

I didn’t see this comparison made in reviews, so I’m pleasantly surprised to be finding this similar to Jonathan Safran Foer!
It’s got whimsical and fun narration sprinkled with sophisticated prose, it’s historical fiction-y, and it’s able to recount a tragic historic event with such detail and specificity that makes it emotionally impactful.
I’m really liking it so far!

First time reading a book in Portuguese 🩷🇧🇷

Whew this book is LONG.

Very interesting, I like how each chapter is digestible individually. Ends very abruptly though.

Let's see how many books on Japan I can read now that I'm going to Japan in December! 💗
