The Rainbow

In "The Rainbow," the first English translation of a poignant novel by Nobel Prize-winning author Yasunari Kawabata, two half-sisters navigate life in post-war Japan while grappling with the lingering effects of the Second World War. Asako, the younger sister, embarks on a quest to find a long-lost sibling and experiences love for the first time, while Momoko, the eldest, confronts her grief and seeks solace in turbulent relationships. This thought-provoking narrative explores themes of family bonds, the legacies of trauma, and the shadows of the past.
