THE BOOKER PRIZE WINNER OF THE WHITBREAD (NOW COSTA) BOOK OF THE YEAR 1948:
Japan is rebuilding her cities after the calamity of World War II, her people
putting defeat behind them and looking to the future. The celebrated painter
Masuji Ono fills his days attending to his garden, his two grown daughters and
his grandson, and his evenings drinking with old associates in quiet lantern-lit
bars. His should be a tranquil retirement. But as his memories continually
return to the past - to a life and a career deeply touched by the rise of
Japanese militarism - a dark shadow begins to grow over his serenity. 'An
exquisite novel.' Observer 'Pitch-perfect . a tour de force of unreliable
narration.' Guardian 'A work of spare elegance: refined, understated, economic.'
