Young girl's transformative year in 1970s Japan.
"Mina's Matchbox" would resonate with you if you've ever faced major life changes, especially as a child. Yoko Ogawa's storytelling gently immerses you into Tomoko's world, drawing you into the experiences of loss, adaptation, and discovery. The quaint backdrop of Ashiya with its colonial mansion and unexpected pet hippo adds a layer of wonder, making Tomoko's transformative year one you'll likely find both nostalgic and heartwarming.
