Review: Moshi Moshi

Moshi Moshi Moshi Moshi by Banana Yoshimoto
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This novel is a bit less surrealistic than some, but deals with a woman's grief after her father's death in, let's say not the best of circumstances. The odd thing is, had the book finished about 3/4 in, it would have been a nice, reflexive book about a woman going through issues but then coming out on top and things more or less working out. However, in the final part the woman makes some odd decisions, leaving an uncomfortable taste and, to be frank, somewhat bewildering me. I'm sure Yoshimoto did this on purpose, since I know she's an excellent writer, but it was still odd.
