Rezension von MichelleDas zweite Buch, das ich von Mieko Kawakami gelesen habe und es war wunderschön. Kawakami hat die wunderbare Gabe Alltagssituationen in so einer poetischen, sanften weise zu beschreiben, dass es einen nur fesseln kann. Die Bücher haben keine dramatische, riesige Handlung, sondern zeigen Menschen, die einfach Menschen sind mit all ihren Problemen, all ihrer Tragik und es braucht nicht mehr. Wie auch schon bei dem ersten Buch, welches ich von Kawakami gelesen habe ist der Anfang sanft, wie eine seichte welle, die dich in das Geschehen in das Leben der Figuren zieht, dich mit ihrem Alltag, ihren Gefühlen vertraut macht. Man wird mitgenommen in all diese sehr menschlichen, sehr unperfekten Situationen und Lebensumstände in denen man sich teilweise so sehr wiedererkennt, was alles noch viel herzzerreißender macht. Kawakami wird es immer schaffen mich emotional mitzureißen, ohne dass sie dafür viel Drama braucht.
