"Though this a classic coming of age / love against the odds story, it is also - perhaps more so - the story of a place. The sea and its rhythms, its beauty and its danger, its sounds and its smells, are constantly present, as is the tightly knit life of the small island on which the characters live, nurturing and holding them with its traditions even as it at times threatens to stifle them. Mishima writes with elegance, clarity, delicacy and the lightest of touches, There are darker undercurrents too, though; the humiliation of Japan in the Second World War is very recent, and the whiff of frustrated desire must surely have been drawn from Mishima's own struggle with his forbidden homosexuality." - Amazon Customer Reviews

  • Mô tả

In a remote fishing village in Japan, two very different young people fall in love.

Shinji is a hard-working fisherman, Hatsue is the beautiful daughter of the wealthiest man in the village. She is also a diver for pearls and seaweed with the other women of the community. Shinji is entranced at the sight of Hatsue in the twilight on the beach and a relationship develops via secret notes and meetings. But when the villagers’ gossip threatens to divide them permanently, Shinji must risk his life to prove his worth.
