***spoiler alert***

What a waste of time. Perhaps something was lost in the translation, but this book was 1. hardly a book at all, 2. too short to develop any attachment, whatsoever, to the characters, and 3. unbelievable. A Frenchman in search of silkworms goes to Japan, has a one-nighter with a lady, and thinks about her bunches over the next few years. There. You've read the book.
