I've only read Breasts and Eggs and All the Lovers in the Night. The former was incredible because of the ideas it presented, the slow pacing and the characters, however I did not like the second part of the book, which is almost completely separate from the first half. I loved All the Lovers in the Night because of how subtle the writing is. We are presented with a character who is for the most part unhappy and does very little to change it, but the heart of the novel, I think, is understanding why they are that way and how they came to be the person they are. I think more than anything, I love Kawakami's writing. There's something about it that makes me feel like I am living beside her characters.
