Publisher's Note
Tsukiyama's classic story of love, sacrifice, and devotion. On the eve of World War II, a young Chinese man is sent to his family's summer home in Japan to recover from tuberculosis. He will rest, swim in the salubrious sea, and paint in the brilliant shoreside light. But when he meets four local residents--a beautiful Japanese girl and three older people--what ensues is a tale that readers will find at once classical yet utterly unique. Author signings.
Industry Reviews
"Gail Tsukiyama has crafted a stunning novel that unfolds as quietly and profusely as the seasons. Against the backdrop of wartime aggression, the characters of this memorable book find hope at the end of devastation, beauty lodged deep inside pain."
Philadelphia Inquirer - Anndee Hochman (08/25/1996)
"An extraordinarily graceful and moving novel about the goodness and beauty. Tsukiyama is a wise and spellbinding storyteller."
Hoberman
"As was true in her beautifully achieved first novel... Tsukiyama brings a fluid, smooth elegance to the the complicated story she tells. Tsukiyama's presence, her quiet investigation of the Japanese way... brings an interior peace to the evolving resolution."
Hoberman
