A- #BookReview: Menu of Happiness by Hisashi Kashiwai, translated by Jesse Kirkwood My Review: I fell in love with this series with the very first book, The Kamogawa Food Detectives, and now I’m utterly hooked on both the series AND the reading niche it occupies. By that, I mean the genre that was popularized by Before the Coffee Gets Cold of loosely connected slice-of-life stories centered around a cozy location that use that location and its function as a framing device to tell slightly bittersweet, often sadly fluffy stories with or without a hint of magic or magical realism.

So Thea struggles with what she wants to be: nurturing mother, loving wife OR powerful villain AND what she wants for her daughter. Maybe she SHOULD let her eat if she wants.

Original, darkly funny, heartbreaking, and horrific, and marvelous!
