Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata
*** 3 stars
Review
This was a very unusual read for me, I did think it was a non fiction book but it is fiction.
It is about a woman who completely lives for her job working in a convenience store part time in China.
She has no desire to get married and start a family as is expected of her, her mindset is totally different to all of those around her and she doesn't understand why?
This was a quick read and kept me entertained through out the book.
Keiko was such a quirky character and for most of the book I could sympathise with her. She didn't live her life the way everyone expected, she knew she was an oddity to those around her, but she carried on regardless.
A good read for those who want to try something a little different!
