Synopsis

In a remote manor, the newly widowed daughter-in-law Etsuko lives. In the trough of jealousy and desire, she fell in love with the gardener Saburo, and took big steps every time. She doesn't want to be rescued, but wants to pursue the deepest feelings in the world. Perhaps, everyone has an impulse. Faced with loneliness, we desperately ask for love. But love is like flowing water, what you get is just luck, and what you lose is life.

Reader comments

This book reminds me of the experiences of some of my friends who long for love in loneliness but are afraid of losing it. The author Yukio Mishima delicately depicts the inner world of the characters, which made me feel the same way. Etsuko in the book desperately searches for love, just like we search for hope in life. Her story made me understand that love and hope require us to work hard, and even a small donation can make our lives better.
