Rating: 4.5 I thought this was beautiful. I preferred the first story included, Kitchen, to the second, Moonlight Shadow. But nevertheless, I thought they were both heartfelt, touching depictions of grief. Having read a few reviews, I can see that some people have issue with the portrayal of the trans woman in the first story. I agree that yes the terminology and reactions were outdated, but overall I thought it was a positive portrayal. If this was a newly published book, I'd probably say differently; but since the book was published 30 years ago, I think it's important to take into account the context. It's my opinion that critique only looking through a more modern-day lens is basal. Terms such as 'transsexual', whilst are not the correct terms to use today, were what were used at that time when the movement of trans rights were in its infant days (at least in the UK). I was actually really surprised to read the character of a trans woman written in such a positive way opposed to being painted as a villain. I thought the issue of violence towards trans women that was covered was also written well. Especially since trans women are so underpresented in media. Overall my opinion on this matter is that although some of the terms used were outdated, it was a positive portrayal accurate to the time. I will definitely be reading more of Banana Yoshimoto's work!
