The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet

David Mitchell - read March 2012

The really interesting story. As an Englishman it is strange to read stories from a different national perspective. The Dutch and the English have always had a strange relationship and this book goes someway to explaining it. It also has a lot to say about Japanese culture. It also gives an insight to the Japanese mind set.

The story has, what I thought was, a sad end but that's how life is.
