Description
The Rainbow by Yasunari Kawabata is a poignant novel about two half sisters struggling to come to terms with their place in a world still reeling from the effects of war. As they navigate love, loss and family legacy, they find themselves grappling with the unbreakable bonds that tie them together.
Set against the backdrop of post-war Japan, this thoughtful and probing novel explores the enduring traumas of conflict, the power of family ties and the inescapability of the past. With its searing and melancholy tone, The Rainbow is a powerful exploration of the human experience.
