Beautiful prose and a thought-provoking story. I will definitely be looking into his other works after reading this.

Quite confusing. Jumps between flashbacks and real time and ends in a pretty sudden way. 
Written in a very interesting way and shines light on the fall of the japanese aristocracy but in a war/poverty focused way.
