Editorial Reviews
Language Notes

Original Language: Japanese

From the Publisher
[The story] reminds one of a Frank Norris novel, though it is told with a simplicity of style that Norris never achieved. Although the background is Japanese, the events are universal. The novel is a brief one, as are so many modern Japanese novels. Mrs. Ryan's translation is well adapted to the mood of the novel. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
