Hiromi Kawakami; Allison Markin Powell; Hiromi Kawakami literary-novels Editorial Review

Strange Weather in Tokyo by Hiromi Kawakami is a subtle and magical story about a woman named Tsukiko and her unexpected ex-teacher called 'Sensei'. The story is a slow-building love story wrapped in everyday small-life things, adding an exquisite beauty to the relationship. The writing style is tender, dreamlike, and poetic, making it easy for the reader to experience the quirks of their interactions, such as their talks over Japanese food and drinks, attending a high school reunion, and going on a mushroom hunt. The atmosphere, humor, and patience build an emotionally tender and mesmerizing environment, leaving a haunting impression on the reader.

Pros

Quiet, magical story
Beautiful writing style
Tender and patient character development
Realistic portrayal of Japanese culture, cuisine, and daily life

Cons

Slow-paced storytelling, may not appeal to some readers
Not much plot development or action
