Reader comments
This is a rare good novel. The characters are vividly described, the emotions are handled delicately and vividly, and the psychological descriptions have a strong sense of involvement. Even in contemporary times, it is full of passion and the feeling of human fireworks. It makes people feel filled with a touch of sadness and warm feelings when reading it. Thanks for sharing such great work.
I have also had the experience of being bullied. Seeing Raiko avenge her sister made me feel relieved. And I feel sorry for Riko, her life seems to be joyless. I think I should cherish the happy time now and do more of the things I like. This book made me think more about life.
The three sisters have three views on life. Those who get married will have regrets, those who are not married will also be lonely, and those who divorced for love will also have their own dissatisfaction. They all continue to live in this state of being dissatisfied but convincing themselves that this is good.
It interprets the completely different life philosophy and life trajectory of contemporary Japanese women, which makes people sigh.
Du Lao's writing style is unparalleled in the world
The current situation of the country recently is what Du Lao described decades ago. You have the power of foresight. Maybe it's society, the law of life development [Like][Like][Like][Like]
