A review by songmingi
Almond by Won-pyung Sohn

emotional informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.5

Almond was a poignant read. It explores human connection and relationships in such an interesting and compassionate way. Despite being quite short I found this book to be still quite impactful.  The writing was easy to read but by no means overly simplistic, it left me reflecting on the themes discussed continuously. In a way, the story was a bit predictable but I enjoyed it nonetheless.  I think we are very fortunate to live in a time where such unique stories and writings from across the world are available to us to read in English. I would recommend reading the author's note to gain further insight into the ideas behind this book. Almond is a book that will continue to occupy my mind, I hope to revisit it soon.
