Vintage Untold Night and Day

This book is a story in a story in a story or isn‘t it?A surreal connection of different lives melting into each other but also where the consistency of time and the connection vary extremely.Are they dreaming or living is the question that popped up again and again in my mind and if it is a dream, which story is the real one? The connection between the two main characters so different from each ones view and repeated sentences like refrains in the story were suprising and so refreshing. The meaning of a sentence is never the same for anyone and Bae Suah showed you in her book how different it can be for the one who hears/read/thinks it. I was fascinated by the structure and the developing story. Finding hints and symbols that connected both „worlds“ with each other. Often, when I was sure Ayami’s world is the real one, there come up a paragraph like: „This city’s hidden name is „secret“. People lose one another before they know it.“ and bamm I was catapulted back, somewhere in the middle I stopped caring and just read on.My younger self often dreamed how my life would be in a parallel world and what kind of person I would be, in this book you have this strange parallel universe life and at the same time it feels more like a story in a story but until the end the reader can‘t figure out. Maybe it is even just a strange long dream or they are ghosts stick in a time vortex that doesn’t let them go.Definitely a unique reading experience I loved to have and still need to work trough.
