**AS HEARD ON BBC RADIO 4 BOOK AT BEDTIME**<br>FROM THE NOBEL PRIZE WINNING, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF NEVER LET ME GO<br>SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE<br>WINNER OF THE COSTA BOOK OF THE YEAR<br><br>1948: Japan is rebuilding her cities after the calamity of World War II, her people putting defeat behind them and looking to the future. The celebrated painter Masuji Ono fills his days attending to his garden, his two grown daughters and his grandson, and his evenings drinking with old associates in quiet lantern-lit bars. His should be a tranquil retirement. But as his memories continually return to the past - to a life and a career deeply touched by the rise of Japanese militarism - a dark shadow begins to grow over his serenity.<br><br> 'An exquisite novel.' Observer<br>'Pitch-perfect. . . a tour de force of unreliable narration.' Guardian<br>'A work of spare elegance: refined, understated, economic.' Sunday Times
