andreairashea 's review for:

Sanshiro by Natsume Sōseki

4.0

---

This was a truly wonderful book. The setting, the writing, the atmosphere... one of those books where nothing much happens, but you can picture every scene, the very gestures, voices, and mimicry of the characters... I loved it. Would have been five stars, but though it made me nostalgic for a place and time I can never visit, there was no great depth of emotion: the heart was mildly touched. I am keen to try more Natsume Soseki.
