Breasts and Eggs is a beautifully introspective novel that follows Natsuko, a working-class Japanese woman, as she grapples with aging, asexuality, and a stalled writing career. Through her quiet struggles, the book explores the raw complexities of loneliness and self-awareness with poignant simplicity. A deeply personal and evocative read, it's worth losing yourself in.
