Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata
3.0
“This society hasn't changed one bit. People who don't fit into the village are expelled: men who don't hunt, women who don't give birth to children. For all we talk about modern society and individualism, anyone who doesn't try to fit in can expect to be meddled with, coerced, and ultimately banished from the village.”
Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata.
Personal Rating: 3/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you so much @readmayahread for sending me this book! I definitely had a lot of fun trying to understand Keiko’s perspective while reading about her daily routine as a convenience store cashier.
The story is slightly mundane, only to have the story plot picked up around 50% into the book, but has interesting views of societal conformity from the lenses of Keiko and Shiraha.
I have a feeling that Keiko’s autistic, so it would be interesting to see how a real life autistic person would feel when they read this book. I don’t even know how to review this, not going to lie
