Unforgettable characters. This book is beautiful (one reviewer on the back cover called it "a banquet for the senses," and he's right). Human beings in a cultural context, depicting universal humanity, living in Japanese society between World War II and its extreme devastation, and rapidly advancing Westernization. I would compare the writing to that of Amy Tan or Diane Ackerman. Gorgeous. Indelible from your memory once you've visited the lives of these characters.
