Book
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Fiction. The book is straight and tight with minimal shelf wear. The jacket is clean and bright with moderate shelf wear but no tears. There are pencil notes and yellow highlighting on many pages, but it is still a very nice copy. Translated by John Bester. The novel evokes the human interplay within one upper-class family in the dying years of the nineteenth century. Above all, it describes the courage and distress of several women caught in a web of shifting relationships; it is these women who live on in the memory. The book won Japan?s highest literary award and is one of the most penetrating studies of female psychology to appear in postwar Japan. Proceeds from the sale of this book benefit environmental restoration and education.
