Four years at the beginning - Laura Story <4> (Iwanami Bunko boy) (2000) ISBN: 4001145189

Her stories feel so personal and vivid, but I wonder what motivated her to share these specific moments from her childhood.

Reading about the hardships made me think about how tough those early years must have been, but I’d love to hear if others felt the same sense of resilience.

Some of the struggles feel timeless, but I’m curious whether modern readers see this as still relevant or more of a nostalgic look back.
