Spring Snow by Yukio Mishima

3.0

I'm glad I read this, although at times it was hard to get through. Most of my interest depended on the very lyrical, beautifully-written descriptions scattered through the book, and on the main character - who I enjoyed because I disliked him so much. What got me through the denser, drawn-out passages was waiting to see how and when Kiyoaki would get what was coming to him, which felt like the wrong reason to be reading this book.
