It's a novel which, once read, will stay with you forever - so vivid is the writing and characterisation. It’s definitely a publishing issue. It's a compelling story, and very character rich.

Loved the film so I bought the book and it was event better...The narration is excellent, you can't put the book away, a happy end...You just want to visit Japan after reading this masterpiece.
