Consider reading Who Moved My Ashes if you enjoy short love stories with painful themes.
Who Move My Ashes is a brief yet impactful story. Its biggest strengths are its heart-wrenching opening, relatable themes, and quick pace. I instantly became invested in the characters. The author's ability to convey the characters' pain made it easy to connect to their experiences, especially for anyone who has encountered such grief in their own life.
As the tragedy faded (the best way to explain it without spoilers), I became less committed to the characters and less immersed in the narrative. At times, following which character did what became difficult and distracting. I can't tell if that was because of the story, translation, or reader, though.
