Spring Snow by Yukio Mishima

5.0

This book is LITERATURE! Mishima has done it again! He’s always surprising me. I can totally see why people say this is one of his best works. I can’t wait to finish the rest. This took me quite a while to finish (I think it was like 4 days) the writing was complex and it took a lot of my time and concentration but the drama and the plot was so interesting that it kept me focused. The writing was stunning, the characterizations were on point, and the way everything from the architecture of that era to the nature of Japan felt as if I was watching a movie about it. This is a book that should be taught as a text because it’s just that good. I highly highly recommend and also encourage everyone to at least read this once in their lifetime. It’s just that good.
