Hi, Emma. Yes, indeed, both the English and the Spanish editions of Murakami's "First Person Singular" are from me. I'm so glad that you like them! You're doing such an amazing work. The world needs you! Very best wishes and big hug from Qingdao, Juan

Lots of heavy weather, big old house, redemptive romance, in a tiny Newfoundland fishing village. It won the National Book Award (USA) and the Pulitzer. It's on Kindle and Audible. Hope you enjoy. Thank you for helping keeping the love of books alive.

But her writing in this book is somewhat different and more mature imo and I really enjoyed the world building! Definitely better than the "Throne of Glass" series I think!! :)
