A review by kaarna
Building Waves by Taeko Tomioka
2.0
I really don't know what to think about this book. The main character had an interesting narrative voice, and she described the people around her in a vivid way. But I just couldn't get a hold of the book, it felt distant and cold.
It might very well be that my problems with the novel are due to my non existing knowledge of Japanese culture. I was surprised to read that the novel was described as feminist, but I guess at its place and time it was. It just felt very distant to my feminism.
An interesting read but not sure if it was an enjoyable one.
