"Somehow the whole story is suffused with this quiet tenderness. Little by little I felt something wash over me: a feeling of peace that words can't express. If I had to explain it I'd say it could only have come from the writer's fervent love for life." - Chapter 4, 1:12:14
"After all I was crying because I wanted to cry, and these were the happiest tears I'd ever known." - Chapter 8, 2:23:38

Maybe I’m not made for Japanese literature? I obviously need to read more Japanese books.
I listened to the audiobook and it didn’t catch my interest and attention at all. Especially part 2 was disappointing.
