from Everyman's Library
Price: $19.36

Customer Review:
The level of detail concerning the trivialities of daily living is amazing especially if like me you're not that familiar with post war Japanese family structure and customs.

from Everyman's Library
Price: $10.96

Customer Review:
This isn't my usual type of novel, and I probably will move on to other authors. An earlier reviewer commented on the similarities to Dostojevski, and in retrospect, I agree, especially when recalling a scene involving a non-Dostojevski book entitled nevertheless, "Crime and Punishment" near the end... more info
