so-soI love the language. It is lush with descriptions that read more like poetry. Jin has a talent for the small moment & possesses a gift for characters‘ inner dialogue & reflection. The story itself is not much of a story. The reader, like characters, spends the book waiting for *something* to happen. That feeling isn‘t satisfied. Includes a graphic depiction of rape, but is well-handled. Overall, a decent book about the mundane nature of love.
"The thing to do is to grab the broom of anger and drive off the beast of fear."
The language in Waiting is so lush & beautiful...it encourages a slow reading pace, and a feeling of anticipation—like waiting for something long hoped for.
“I am fighting to enlighten and protect my life by joining with my students, my comrades, and my colleagues for the enlightenment and rescue of all sociable and tender qualities of human life everywhere.”
