‘In this masterpiece Kawabata, his brush dipped in silver, renders
all the excruciating anguish and beauty of post-war Japan’ Edmund
WhiteWith the Second World War only a few years in the past, and
Japan still reeling from its effects, two sisters - born to the
same father but different mothers - struggle to make sense of the
new world in which they are coming of age. Asako, the younger, has
become obsessed with locating a third sibling, while also
experiencing love for the first time. While Momoko, their father's
first child - haunted by the loss of her kamikaze boyfriend and
their final, disturbing days together - seeks comfort in a series
of unhealthy romances.And both sisters find themselves unable to
outrun the legacies of their late mothers. A thoughtful, probing
novel about the enduring traumas of war, the unbreakable bonds of
family and the inescapability of the past, The Rainbow is a
searing, melancholy work from one of Japan's greatest writers.
