I have two books I have to write reviews up for myself and I will have to skim through them to refresh my memory.<br /><br />Nagasaki sounds good. The thought of someone in the house eating his food and moving his things is definitely creepy. I wonder what is going on there.<br /><br />Great review!The Bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10217390642323530030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011304218892238385.post-35751410717262607952015-12-21T16:48:42.174-08:002015-12-21T16:48:42.174-08:00I think this sounds really good.

I think Japanese Literature would be extra difficult. It's nice to see you back and blogging.

Hopefully, you will have the chance to visit her there.<br /><br />To me, this is a deceptively simple book. I read it, and enjoyed it very much, but I suspect quite a bit went over me that I will need to explore in rereading it. But, I do remember the mysterious aura, and though the author so skilled at creating a wonderful atmosphere.<br /><br />Thank you for reading for the Japanese Literature Challenge all these years, and sharing the joy with me. xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011304218892238385.post-91978198865725098552015-12-18T17:24:43.612-08:002015-12-18T17:24:43.612-08:00Great review!
