What They're Saying
Critics Review
An important, worthwhile and surprisingly of-the-moment novel … as timely now as it was in 1937 * Asian Review of Books *Heartwarming and empathetic… Like the best Miyazaki films, [the] lessons are often deceptively simple, but they have implications for every person who comes of age through adversity. * Vulture *Not easily forgotten… Some may feel inclined to affirm an unusual truth: ‘I am wiser for having read this book.’ * The New York Times Book Review *How Do You Live? is that rare thing … It asks its young readers to think about the person they want to be, and its adult readers to reflect on the person they’ve become. * Wired *A quiet, introspective look at life and how to be human. * Kirkus Reviews *[A] deeply thoughtful Japanese classic … Yoshino’s timeless lessons will resonate with sensitive readers young and old. * Publishers Weekly *
