It is SO good! Very slow, almost dreamlike, but that is how Japanese literature seems to work...intent on portraying a mood as well as a novel. A true novel vs. an I novel; I'm thinking about that distinction. And, developing a terrible hankering to reread Wuthering Expectations. So glad we're reading this one together!
Vintage Reading, you would LOVE this book! Its so good! Such an enthralling read. I am in love with it :)
M, yes! It is sooo good!!! Exactly, the mood fits the slow-going pace perfectly. Me, too! I was thinking about that the whole time - its something I'd never really thought of before, but there is an obvious distinction. I was thinking the same thing - a reread is in order! I'm glad you are enjoying it so much :)

Kathy, it is soooo good! I'm halfway through this chunkster and enjoining every minute of it.
I'm intrigued - a reworking of Wuthering Heights set in Japan? Wow!
