Sad that the novelist never finishes the rest of the story, but I strongly believe the MC will go back to find this other woman in the end?

He can't have sex with his wife...okay I think this guy just brought all his issues to himself! Shouldn't have gotten married when he is thinking about another woman!

The sequel isn't as good as the main story!!!

blood red hell, blue ocean hell, rose colored hell.

I can't believe I had missed the hints about the MC and the young woman have sex by the end of the book, when I read it for the first time.

a web of guilt and desire.

So this is the Chinese translation for the 'completed version' of Thousands Cranes? Great, I want to know what happened to those characters.

Btw, there are quite a number of spiritual incest going on in this book!

So that's the end? That's a bit too sudden!

Now we get to the part that the main characters are trying to break away from the shadows of their past and the guilt.

guilt and karma make up a huge part of this story

why it looks like women are simply falling right onto his laps?!

Surprise! The story is rather fast paced!

So the guy has an affair with his late father's mistress. Incestuous stuff, anyone?

Reading this book and other Kawabata's books seriously make me wonder: Are all men like this? Are they all always thinking about this perfect, beautifully woman they can't be with, even when they have a wife or girlfriend by their sides?

A man and his late father's two mistresses.
