With the Second World War only a few years in the past, and Japan still reeling from its effects, two sisters-born to the same father but different mothers-struggle to make sense of the new world in which they are coming of age. Asako, the younger, has become obsessed with locating a third sibling, while also experiencing love for the first time. While Momoko, their father's first child-haunted by the loss of her kamikaze boyfriend and their final, disturbing days together-seeks comfort in a series of unhealthy romances. And both sisters find themselves unable to outrun the legacies of their late mothers. A thoughtful, probing novel about the enduring traumas of war, the unbreakable bonds of family, and the inescapability of the past, Beyond the Rainbow is a searing, melancholy work from one of Japan's greatest writers.
