Deep River, Paperback / softback Book

Deep River Paperback / softback

Part of the Pushkin Press Classics series

Paperback / softback

Pre-Order

Description

A group of Japanese tourists journey to the sacred River Ganges, each on a secret personal pilgrimage.

Widower Isobe mourns for the devoted wife he neglected; gentle children's writer Numanda seeks out the bird he believes saved his life; Kiguchi is haunted by his time as a soldier along the Highway of Death; and Mitsuko reconnects with the classmate she tempted away from the church and cruelly discarded. At the softly lapping shores of the river - where the faithful come to bathe during their final moments - self-knowledge is sought and memories put to rest.

Set against a rich backdrop of 90s India, Deep River is a beautifully moving story showing Endo at the height of his powers as a chronicler of religious experience.
