Book: Spring Snow
Author : Yukio Mishima
Review: Mishima crafts the purpose of the book, Spring Snow to its entirety in a genius way. Kiyoaki and Satoko have a love affair and the ending is enough to make one weep. I loved the fact that there are more books to the quadrilogy. Satoko and Kiyoaki deserved a better chance at life but Mishima writes about yearning and longing in such a profound way. Mishima is a genius as he puts us in third person perspective into the life of Kiyoaki and his lover Satoko with his friend, Honda.
Star Rating : 5 of 5
Spice rating : 5 of 5
Book Recommendation : Yes/To those who are interested in romance and tragic endings
Thoughts:
- Spring Snow is like the movie “Atonement”
- What could and should’ve been is not always what will be in the masterpiece that is this book.
- Mishima is a heartbreaker ..
- A carefully crafted and vibrant look into Japanese society in Japan.
