As the book jacket states, SNOW reads like a long, intensely lucid poem. Not one word is wasted. Although the story itself is not all that remarkable and won't surprise the aware reader, the method used to tell it sets it apart from the ordinary. By the end I had tears in my eyes. There is even a touch of humor here, along with some profound statements about both life and art.
Only 100 tiny pages long and readable in half an hour, SNOW is a remarkably beautiful, if simplistic, love story that I can highly recommend.
Its absolutely fantastic - I literally couldn't put it down until, all of a sudden, I had finished it & was left wanting more!
Do not even hesitate in purchasing this beautiful book about Haiku - even if you're new to it all, you can still appreciate the beauty of Haiku and the enchantment of snow!
