2.5
I’m afraid this book was not for me though. The first 50% was exciting and I was always curious as to where Shimamura and Yoko would take their relationship, but after that 50% I was disappointed. I find that often with classic writing, so maybe I need to move onto contemporary writing instead.
I am still giving it 2.5 out of 5 stars, because there were moments of good energy and excitement ✨ Thank you!

"Snow Country" is full of beautiful imagery and melancholy; It is a book about wasted beauty, stagnation and lost connection.
Moderate: Alcoholism and Fire/Fire injury
Minor: Death
