    These are all books by the same author. Once you read one, you will know why she is recommended. They are all short stories that can be read in one sitting. It is a family sadism, very sadistic, and the author's writing skills are very good. The protagonists are all very kind-hearted, but he also has something similar to original sin. This conflict makes you want to feel sorry for him, but sometimes you also feel that others are pitiful. It is this conflict that will make you very sad and heart-wrenching.
