A review by outoftheofficeagain
All the Lovers in the Night by Mieko Kawakami

2.0

This feels flat and dated. The themes of feminism and social norms and even the toll trauma takes on women (specifically) are interesting but it's stuff l've read before and not particularly impactful. I usually feel at a distance from Kawakami's characters but it was more-so in this one.

One interesting question; How much of ourselves is our OWN choice? Are we created by adhering to society or rebelling? And if so, is it determined by our real conviction?
