A review by booktrunks
The Diving Pool by Yōko Ogawa

3.0

I have read a heartfelt book about numbers, a heartbreaker about memory, a collection of spooky tales, but nothing prepared me for how Ogawa writes disturbing. At times, things actually got a little too uncomfortable for me, but I feel like that's just a tribute to how versatile of a writer she is. If someone who has never read from Ogawa were to read this book and then The Housekeeper and the Professor, they wouldn't believe it's the same author. I think my favorite of this collection was Pregnancy Diary, but all three were eerie and chilling tales! People who like to feel general discomfort for short periods should pick this one up!
