A review by shorshewitch
Where the Wild Ladies Are by Aoko Matsuda

4.0

Where the Wild Ladies are by Aoko Matsuda, translated by Polly Barton

Book 22/100 

🍁 quick read 
🍁 was a recommendation by amazing folks on #translatedgemsbookclub
🍁 inspired by and reinvents a lot of Japanese folktales
🍁 now I want to read more Japanese folktales. Sarath tells me we have a huge collection of them. So yay for me. 
🍁 the stories are interconnected but not chronological, so a certain level of suspension of the concept of conventional time is required. 
🍁 Stories deal with pretty heavy issues and yet are kept light and fun. 
🍁 some stories end abruptly but since you will find some connection at a later point it does not feel cliffhanger-y.
