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 The Rainbow is a searing melancholy work from one of Japan's greatest writers.
