House on the Hillside (Novel) Review
b"Welcome!
In this second episode of The Minchester Review, I talk about the novel House on the Hillside (\\u5761\\u9053\\u4e0a\\u7684\\u5bb6) written by Japanese writer Mitsuyo Kakuta.
Intrigued by the author's comment that the novel is more about where the communication fails than the difficulty of motherhood depicted by the TV show, I delve into the nuanced parts of the book where the author studies people's fear of being otherised and how the self can be hypnotized by enigmatic conversation.
House on the Hillside is written in a clear and straightforward style; the details and analysis of interpersonal relationship between family members are fascinating."
