Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata

4.0

What a great book! After reading the reviews I admit to not expecting to enjoy it and page 1 appeared to bolster my expectations. But by page 2 I was hooked! A dark, yet uplifting story about the struggles of fitting in and being accepted by society, in conflict with accepting who we really are and being true to ourselves. The translation is excellent and really brings out the characters' personalities and their traits.
