“This classic about four sisters of the once-aristocratic Makioka family is set in early 20th century Japan during the last few years leading up to World War II. Detailing all the everyday mundane details in the domestic lives of each of the four sisters, this novel lacks in action but more than makes up for it by enrapturing the reader in all the intricate details about Japanese family life and traditions. A luxurious read for anyone interested in Japan and Japanese culture.
