Absurd Courage
A rich, amusing, touching novel that tells of the marriage between Asako, an impetuous young Japanese girl, and a fashionable London art critic.Leaving Japan for .the West, Asako finds her- new life to be not quite as carefree as she had imagined. Her husband - so gifted, so adorable - proves an agony to live with. Faced with a floundering marriage Asako makes a decision - a decision that requires absurd courage...The author conveys both the toughness and delicacy of her heroine, caught as she is in the pincers between East and West, and succeeds admirably without sentimentality and with affectionate humourIt is splendid. A remarkable novelI very much like this exciting, touching novel about religion, politics, theatre, all sorts of people and all sorts of love
