A review by misssusan
Ôoku: The Inner Chambers, Vol. 2 by Fumi Yoshinaga

5.0

oh nooooooo

you would think that since this is a reread i would have been more prepared

nope. nope nope nope

how many bus rides will i spend surreptiously wiping away tears as i read about tragic things happening to good people?

TOO MANY

religious persons who act with compassion and generosity: my eternal weakness

frankly i don't know where yoshinaga gets off writing with such a clear eyed view of humanity and sympathy for the many ways people cope with trying circumstances

5 stars
