This beautiful story full of modesty opens up a strange and fascinating world: we moved in spring, full of compassion, tenderness and admiration for this wonderful woman so worthy, so positive -if moderne- face cruelty a destiny that to Western eyes seems inconceivable. But also, in an almost musical counterpoint, written by the author, subtle and delicate, makes every page a hymn to the refinement of the Japanese culture, his extraordinary love for nature, the water of a river, snow, flowers, colors. This makes reading this beautiful literature rapture.
