A short but poignant story. Manase returns to Japan after WWII, and all seems fine as he took over his father's business, married and took up the hobby of stone collecting. However, what happened during the war, while he and other Japanese soldiers were dying in a cave in the Philippines, continued to haunt him.

Reserved for a BCer who has it on her wishlist.

Oh wow! Thank you so much for thinking of me when reserving this book!
I like Asian literature in general, but some stories catch my eye in an extra way for some reason. This one did & I'm really very happy to be able to read it.

Thank you!

An interesting story. At first, it just seems an ordinary short story of the life of a man who survives the horrors of WWII.
He picks up life after returning to Japan and does rather well.
Only near/at the end of the book it appears that nothing really was what it seemed. Manase is still being haunted by... Well yes, by what or who?
