Four Seasons in Japan A big hearted book within a book about finding purpose belonging,

First of all, I need a minute to get my thoughts in order. Quite the heavy read, this one. Having recently finished ''The Cat and The City'', I knew I had to read this one as well. This reflective story within a story contains beautifully formed characters and their struggles of finding purpose in life. Also, we don't need to talk about Bradley's fantastic style of writing. Kind of self explanatory. The setting was absolutely beautiful (could I be saying 'beautiful' more often?!) and I'm still contemplating, which season I'd like to witness. Probably the Hanami season I guess. Anyway, please read this book. It's a complex novel that stays with you long after you've finished. If not for me, do it for the cat.
