Last year #TheMemoryPolice was one of my first (and best) #reads of the year, so this January I decided to read another book by #YokoOgawa : #AmoresAlMargen (Why hasn't this novel been translated into English yet?). Will "Ogawa January" be my new tradition?
Good start! 🤞

My favorite read for November 2024, The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa.
I was swept away in the story from beginning to end. Beautiful storytelling.
I highly recommend it.
Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
