Description

(Translated by William F. Sibley)

Sōsuke and his wife Oyone live a quiet, secluded life in Tokyo, burdened by past mistakes and financial struggles. Their marriage began through an affair that led to their elopement, causing estrangement from their families. Now in their thirties, they live in quiet resignation, unable to change their fate. When Sōsuke’s younger brother seeks financial help for his education, Sōsuke is forced to confront his responsibilities and regrets. Seeking peace, he briefly retreats to a Zen monastery, only to realize that life offers no easy answers. The novel is a meditation on fate, guilt, and quiet suffering.
