Hello, dear
students. Hoping you are having a great weekend, today’s blog is free topic, so
I will write about the novels that I have read this year so far.
Kitchen, by Banana Yoshimoto, the stories of 2 different characters dealing
with the death of a loved one are depicted in such a way that it actually makes
you believe that you are seeing what’s going on. There aren’t any sudden plot twists
nor villains but rather a gentle portrayal of what it feels like when only
memories prevail through time and yet, you
must move on in life.
If you are looking
for a somehow similar version of Wuthering Heights (one of the most successful
novels from Emily Brönte), Fifty Words for Rain: A Novel will not let
you down. Kyoto, 1948: Traditional customs, hierarchy, violence, family ties, exceptional
moments for tenderness and love that will be a very short respite for the
reader, deception and loyalty are clashed in this amazing novel by Asha Lemmie.
In Confessions,
Kanae Minato provides the perspective of several characters regarding the death
of the daughter of the homeroom teacher. The psyche of some characters can be
nerve-wrecking for the reader, their ulterior motives and the thinking process
towards madness can be both addictive and frightening as the end comes closer. The
ending will leave you speechless.
Finally, if you
are interested in making travelling your long-term lifestyle, Vagabonding offers
not a practical guide on how to find the cheapest travel tickets nor the most
expensive restaurants abroad, but rather, it guides you on how to start making traveling
your true ethos in life. It challenges cultural settings that most of us can relate,
and it shows how traveling starts from a small decision.
What about you,
students? Any good book that you can recommend me?
See you next
week 😊!
Hi, You're good at reading. I have received many comments that Banana Yoshimoto has very good books. it's hard for me to get hooked on books, but i will try to read a book of her.
ResponderEliminarHi teacher, I can recommend you "La última niebla" by María Luisa Bombal. I think that is a good novel but it´s a little bit difficult to read.
ResponderEliminarHi, I really impressed about your taste for reading. You would be interested in reading books about productivity, like "club of 5am", "atomic habits", etc-
