The Garden Of Evening Mists
Let me start with pointing out what a horrible blogger I am.Not only I stilll havn't transalated my posts into japanese I keep making my post way over the deadline.One again I'm truly sorry.I will try my best in the future.Truthfully I have never read a book that won or nominated by The Man Booker Prize.Lasts week I saw a couple of them being on sale so decided to buy this book.This book was nominated for the award last year but lost to Bring Up The Bodies by Hilary Mantel.This book is written by Tan Twan Eng and was published in 2012.Obviously it received positive reviews.
The High and Low
.Great Cover
.The characters is finely presented and the story is also full of lush detail
.The story is sometimes too depressing
Quick Summary
Yun Ling decided to return to Yugiri after she retires and because there was a person named Tatsuji who wanted to see her too discuss about her former teacher Arimoto,who once was the gardener of the emperor of Japan.There he explained to he wanted to see Arimoto's Caligraphy and he also explained about his theories.That Arimoto was once a Tattoo Artist.There Yun Ling also met her old friend Frederick,she confessed to him that she is sick and someday all of her memory will disappear.He adviced her to write her experience in a book her memories will exist forever.With that advice Yun Ling wrote all her memories on Yugiri and her guilt about living while her sister died in the camp.
The Conclusion
This is a very beautiful book.The cover is simply magnnificentmI do have to say that I only picked this book because of its cover but once again I proved that you can judge a book by its cover.The characters are finely written almost of them have an unexplained depth in them.The author also presented the place so beautifully,I would love to visit Yugiri.Unfortunately it doesn't exist but I guess I can still visit Genting Highland but chances are most of the land there are in development.However I have to say that sometimes the story can be a tad too depressing.Almost every chapter I go through broke my heart.In the end the we/Yun Ling never did learn all what we/she wanted but then again we never do in real life but I do hop I will never have that experince.
