About the author

Toyoko Yamasaki (山崎 豊子, real name Sugimoto Toyoko; 3 November 1924 – 29 September 2013) was a Japanese novelist.

A native of Osaka, Yamasaki worked as a journalist for the Mainichi Shimbun from 1945 to 1959 after graduating from Kyoto Women's University in Japanese literature. She published her first story, Noren (1957), a story of a kelp trader, based on the experiences of her family's business. The following year, she won the Naoki Prize for her second novel Hana Noren, the story about the founder of an entertainment group. A major influence on her writings of that period was Yasushi Inoue, who was deputy head of the Mainichi Shimbun's cultural news desk.

Yamasaki wrote some stories based on actual events. For example, Futatsu no Sokoku is derived from the biography of a Japanese American David Akira Itami, and Shizumanu Taiyō is based on the Japan Airlines Flight 123 accident. Several works of hers were featured in films and television dramas.

[Yu Jie · Rating 4 out of 5]

大介為了併吞大同銀行，拉攏了大同銀行的棉貫，大大同銀行順利給與更多融資，同時繼續為阪神鋼鐵做表面融資，導致阪神鋼鐵終於跳票，不得不申請更生，大兒子鐵平以父子之情，希望大介可以至少維持阪神鋼鐵的主權，但大介卻還是把阪神特殊鋼賣了出去。在大同銀行正式被合併的新聞報導出來後，鐵平終於發現父親為了救阪神銀行，而毀掉自己的畢生事業，心灰意冷、生無可戀，便舉槍自盡。

早先，大介與鐵平都以為鐵平是寧子與大介的爸爸亂倫產下的孩子，於是在大介沈溺於併吞的成功及復仇的滿足時，鐵平自殺後現場留下的B型血型，卻讓他發現他親手斷送的，原來是自己親生兒子的性命。

為了達到目的而不擇手段的萬表一家，最後四分五裂。大兒子自殺，小兒子離婚。大女婿同時卻在背後默默準備著要讓大介的新銀行被併吞至另一間銀行，打算踩著岳父而爬上更高的官階，全書再此完結。

看盡人情冷暖的一書。故事規模完整細膩，且龐大。但也因此讀起來格外辛苦。還是一部很值得閱讀的作品。

鐵平的死真是痛哭，尤其是最後得知血型的時刻，真是太氣了

Finally finished reading. This is a very long story to read, for me, but it's relatively short as a work of Toyoko Yamazaki.
