A review by mcgbreads
The Story of a Single Woman by Uno Chiyo
Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.
ARC review; thanks to NetGalley and Pushkin Press | Pushkin Press Classics for the access to this ebook.
I was drawn to this book by the cover and the description, but unfortunately, I couldn't connect with the writing in a meaningful way. But if you love character-focused, deeply introspective stories, you'll enjoy this a lot. I think it's the perfect example of a reflective book, where the character looks back on her life at 70 years old and reflects on it from that present-day perspective, providing a lot of insight into her experience as a woman in 1920s Japan.
