Description
Heaven by Mieko Kawakami is a powerful and thought-provoking novel about the impact of violence and the power of solidarity. The story is told from the perspective of a 14-year-old boy who suffers relentless torment for having a lazy eye, and his struggles to cope with this situation. A female classmate, who also faces similar treatment, becomes the only person who truly understands his pain. This raw and realistic portrayal of bullying is counterbalanced by a nuanced exploration of philosophical and religious debates surrounding violence against the weak.
