Narration Concering Books An Exquisite Sense of What Is Beautiful

An eminent British writer returns to the resort hotel in the Japanese mountains where he once spent a beautiful, snowed-in winter. It was there he fell in love and wrote his best-selling novel, The Waterwheel, accusing America of being in denial about the horrific aftermath of the Tokyo firebombings and the nuclear destruction at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. As we learn more about his earlier life, however - as a student in Bloomsbury, involved with a famous American painter - we realise that he too is in denial, trying to escape past events that are now rapidly catching up with him. A sweeping novel of East and West, love and war, truths and denials.

Appraise Epithetical Books An Exquisite Sense of What Is Beautiful

I loved the language and story, but didn't like the central character and really didn't like the ending.

This is a beautifully written story with highly engaging reflective style. I was really taken with the current and past narratives which were very expertly interwoven. Anyone who likes good writing should pick up a copy immediately and get on with it.

A beautiful dream of a book! Full of wistful longing. Is almost certainly going to feature as one of the best books i have read this year.

The stunning title and cover give this novel a lot to live up to it, but it does it beautifully. East meets west in a modern classic. Go buy.

Story of a rather dislikeable hero at the end of his life, flashbacks to his earlier life. An evocative, readable and intelligent novel.

A really nice book. Nothing too incredible but just got into my 4-star category for being a really good examination of some quite intriguing characters.

Mildly interesting story of an author who wrote a book in Japan condemning Americans post bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Had a love affair with a Japanese woman and left her behind. Had an unsuccessful marriage. Underdeveloped and unlikeable characters all. 2.5
