Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson
日本語
人体発火にどうしても目がいきますが、至極まっとうな小説です。
「燃え上がる子供」というキャッチ―なテーマがあり、それに振り回されはしますがこの本の良さは純粋に主人公と子供達との物語だと感じます。
English
Lillian, getting bored of her life and spending a miserable life, visits her old friend Madison. It's been a long time since their last meeting even though they continued exchanging letters since then.
The story's plot itself is rather normal.
Lillian meets twin kids, spends time together, faces some toubles, and finally finds light in her life.
EVEN THOUGH THESE TWINS CATCH ON FIRE.
No harm for them at all, but any surroundings.
But is this extraordinariness that makes this book so special?
No, I don't think it does much.
It is these twins themselves (and Lillian) who make this this book so deep, absorbing, and attractive.
"Ok"
They often use this word, "Ok" in reply. Nothing more, nothing less.
Just "Ok".
Curt?
Nonchalant?
I felt various emotions in this simple "Ok": acceptance, gratitude, and comfort.
What's my rating to this book?
Ok.
