WOW. I can truly say that this was one of my favorite reads so far this year. Wildly inventive, fresh and darkly humorous, Aoko Matsuda's "Where the Wild Ladies Are" is an unexpected delight. Matsuda's modern, intelligent and quirky retelling traditional Japanese ghost stories had me hooked from the first page. From hapless employees to reluctant calligraphers and grumpy cats, this book truly encompasses everything. What I loved the most was the way each story seamlessly blended into the next with recurring characters, themes and overlapping narratives. "Where the Wild Ladies Are" is an effortless, timeless classic.
