The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea by Yukio Mishima

dark mysterious tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.5

A dark book about a child's aspirations and priorities, and what happens when they interact with the reality of people and adults that don't understand them. The book has some dark twists, but a lot of it was sort of a pleasant read. Not overly ideological, which is something I was concerned about.
