Strange Weather in Tokyo by Hiromi Kawakami - BOOK REVIEW
Channel: Understanding the News
Date: 2024-03-28

Hiromi Kawakami is a well known and accomplished contemporary Japanese author.
Several of her books have been translated into English, by the excellent Allison Markin Powell. 
Strange Weather in Tokyo is a unique love story about a middle aged couple.
It is a remarkable showcase of how remarkable the unremarkable can be: how a seemingly ordinary life can be full of special, intimate, confusing, exciting, relaxing and fun moments.
A great book for everyone who loves good literature, exquisite character psychology, as well as for those who are interested in aspects of life in Japan beyond the primitive media stereotypes.
