Snow Country & Thousand Cranes

I enjoyed reading this book and it was exactly what I expected but at the same time it wasn't. The writing was great and I really loved the descriptions. You have to read a lot between the lines, however, and I was often confused about what was going on and where I was and had to go back and reread what I've just read. There's really a lot to this story and even though I didn't like the characters, I did enjoy following their story and seeing how their lives change and how this novel ends.
