A collection of short stories about love and noticing beauty in everyday things and moments. The prose is very "matter of fact", but that might be a translation issue. It reminded me of Elementals: Stories of Fire and Ice which I read recently and also enjoyed. There's a touch of magic (especially in the first story, Newlywed, which takes place on a train -- fitting that I read it on the bus.) They are more about mood than plot, which is okay with me, but I can see how it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea. The stories do blur together in my mind a bit.
