In 2025 I read Set My Heart on Fire by Izumi Suzuki.

Timeline

• ...started reading at some point.

Review

The first half felt a bit clichéd and dated.

Part way into the second half she uses the term “psychologically uncircumcised” to describe her abusive husband, and that is a phrase that will stay with me for the rest of my life.
