[Reading Record] Three Kilometers to the Moon

Hello. This is HANA.

This time, I would like to introduce this book.

Someone introduced this book on note, and I became interested and decided to read it.

This was my first time reading a work by Shin Iyohara, but
it was a truly wonderful encounter.

In addition to the heartwarming flow of the stories, you can even learn some scientific knowledge,
making it a novel that feels like a great value.
Since it is a collection of short stories, the fact that it can be read at a good pace was also a major appeal.

Every short story included in this book stays with you, but my personal favorites are "Three Kilometers to the Moon" and "How to Find Ammonites."

In the title story, "Three Kilometers to the Moon," the scene where the taxi driver gently stays by the side of the heartbroken protagonist and they look up at the "Three Kilometers to the Moon" sign together was truly impressive.
It leaves a lingering, gentle warmth.

"How to Find Ammonites" is
a story about a young protagonist who goes to the countryside and
searches for ammonites with a grumpy old man who was collecting fossils there.

In the vivid descriptions of steadily breaking open stones,
I felt the excitement as if I were searching for fossils right along with them.

No matter which page you turn, the romance of science and human warmth gently intersect, and after reading, your heart feels softly warmed.

Isn't this the perfect book for summer vacation reading?

It was a novel that gave me a wonderful encounter, making me want to recommend it to someone the moment I closed the pages, and making me want to read more of Mr. Iyohara's other works.

Thank you for reading this far.
See you later.
