Beautiful and innocent, she is tightly bound by the rules of a rural geisha, and lives a life of servitude and seclusion. Snow Country, Yasunari Kawabata's masterpiece, is a delicate, subtle meditation on love and its limits.'A work of beauty and strangeness, one of the most distinguished and moving of Japanese novels' New York Herald Tribune
