Book Reviews of The Gate
Book Review: A Huge Disappointment!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I was very disappointed in this book. I've read a few other of Soseki's novels and absolutely LOVED them, but just couldn't get into this one at all and didn't appreciate the story line either. I will leave you with the synposis from the back of the book.
"A central masterpiece of twentieth-century Japanese literature, THE GATE describes the world of the humble clerk Sosuke and his wife Oyone, living in quiet obscurity in a house at the bottom of a cliff. Childless, the couple find themselves having to take
responsibility for Sosuke's younger brother. Oyone's health begins to fail, and news that Oyone's ex-husband will be visiting near by promotes a sense of crisis in Sosuke and forces him to abandon his life of quiet domesticity.
