Mayumi and the Sea of Happiness
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Jennifer Tseng
€7.50 🚗+4.90
A controversial novel set on a New England island, about a bored wife, mother and librarian who begins an affair with a teenage boy.
“As I handed him the form and then watched as he filled it in — his fingers fumbling a bit with the tiny pencil — I didn’t think of having him yet, I simply gaped at his beauty.”
Obsessional love, after all, is a kind of meat grinder of emotional turmoil through which most humans have churned themselves at least once.
Exquisitely written, Mayumi and the Sea of Happiness is part wry confession, part serious meditation. At its most anxious, it’s a book about time, at its most ecstatic, it’s a deeply human story about pleasure. But catastrophe strikes.
