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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTranslated by Haydn Trowell\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48227409821931,"sku":"EB_LI0710_B13-07_SIMS","price":22.89,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780241542293-1.jpg?v=1786178375","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/zh\/products\/9780241542293","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
