Clear and powerful
Kirkus
An esoteric masterpiece
Yukio Mishima
A subtle examination of universal female behavior
People
[Enchi’s] allusions to the masks of No plays and to the classic The Tale of Genji, the brilliant way she layers and interweaves the ancient, the more recent past and the present are haunting and rich. A fictional enchantment
Publishers Weekly
Enchi’s writing has some of the same amniotic fluidity as Tolstoy’s, an almost bodily, floating immersion into the effortless habitat of the story
The American Reader
