A review by crazytourists_books
Breasts and Eggs by Mieko Kawakami

dark emotional sad slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

What a great book! The writing is fantastic, it pulls you un this very atmospheric nareation, almost dream (and sometimes nightmare) like, and lets you breathless. 
If the second part of the book was a bit more balanced, it would have been brilliant! 
P.S. patriarchy is really strong in Japan, isn't it?
