Discover the Cozy Wisdom in ‘The Year I Stopped to Notice’

If you’re looking for a quaint and cozy book to read that won’t take too much effort, I’d like to recommend The Year I Stopped to Notice by Miranda Kee...

In 2024 Han Kang won Nobel Prize in Literature "for her intense poetic prose" and having read her "Greek Lessons" I can already see why the judges described her literary contribution in such a manner - the language of the book is so perceptive and vivid that the reader can really feel what the characters feel. 4 out of 5 for the book - thanks to the language, as the plot was not as impressive in my opinion.
