A review by nathanjames24
Heaven by Mieko Kawakami

challenging dark emotional tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

a surprisingly moving read. at times deeply cynical, constantly empathetic, this short little novel gave me a lot more to chew on than i expected. kawakami is quickly becoming one of my fav authors.
