In cherished novels such as Kitchen and Goodbye Tsugumi, Banana Yoshimoto's warm, witty, and heartfelt depictions of the lives of young Japanese have earned her international acclaim and best-seller status. Her insightful, spare vision returns in two novellas possessed by the ghosts of love found and lost. In Hardboiled, the unnamed narrator is hiking in the mountains on an anniversary she has forgotten about, the anniversary of her ex-lover's death. As she nears her hotel--stopping on the way at a hillside shrine and a strange soba shop--a sense of haunting falls over her. Perhaps these eerie events will help her make peace with her loss. Hard Luck is about another young woman, whose sister is dying and lies in a coma. Kuni's fianc left her after the accident, but his brother Sakai continues to visit, and the two of them gradually grow closer as they make peace with the impending loss of their loved one. Yoshimoto's voice is clear, assured, and deeply moving, displaying again why she is one of Japan's, and the world's, most beloved writers.Binding Type: Paperback

Delivery on a timely manner
Package Size Name: Super, Size: 81 sheet (Pack of 12)
It’s not as nice as the charming toilet paper I was expecting it to be just as good or or a little at least a little bit charming, but it wasn’t. It’s not harsh, but it’s kind of thin so I really wasn’t happy with that.

Nice paper towels
Package Size Name: Super, Size: 81 sheet (Pack of 12)
I was sad that I must of read this wrong because they were not like the material ones, that you would use for everything. They are durable and do not leave lint on the windows when you use it to clean them. This was a good value for the money even if they were the wrong ones.

The best there is. You'll always want more.
Package Size Name: Super, Size: 81 sheet (Pack of 12)
Magnificent! Absolutely magnificent! I never thought I would enjoy them this much. I was such a mess before these came into my life. So soft and supple yet thick and tough. I can't get enough! If only I knew of these before my wife left me. The power and respect they would have demanded! I imagine her falling to her knees on the floor with it in hand while looking up at me. Her hand gripping and sliding back and forth taking care of the spill before me as she thanks me for giving it to her. You'll keep coming back for more!

High Quality Paper Towels That Actually Last
Package Size Name: Triple, Size: 141 Sheets (Pack of 16)
These are easily some of the best paper towels we’ve used. The cloth-like feel makes a noticeable difference right away. They’re soft but still very strong, and they hold up well even when wet without tearing apart.
Absorbency is excellent, so you don’t need to use multiple sheets to clean up a mess. One sheet usually gets the job done, which makes them more efficient than most standard options. They’re also thick enough to handle tougher cleaning without falling apart.
Overall, great quality and very reliable. The whole family uses them, and they’ve held up well for everything we need.

Feels super high quality
Package Size Name: Family Triple Roll, Size: 141 Sheets (Pack of 12)
Best paper towel ever - honestly they don’t feel like paper, they’re soft almost like an actual towel. These are the best for wiping my kids faces and hands because they’re soft and don’t fall apart. Also great for pets because I can scrub my carpet when my dog has an accident and the paper towel does not shred. 10/10 recommend these. They also don’t unravel and fling all over the place so I like to have a roll by my back door for the dogs paws, super convenient. The roll kind of sticks to itself so it stays tidy.
