A Mountain to the North, A Lake to the South

A quiet, poetic, and exquisitely gorgeous novel describing a wandering mythic figure in a Kyoto monastery
The grandson of Prince Genji lives outside of space and time and wanders the grounds of an old monastery in Kyoto. The monastery, too, is timeless: a place of prayer and deliverance, with barely a trace of any human presence. The wanderer is searching for a garden that has long captivated him: “he continually saw the garden in his mind’s eye without being able to touch its existence.”
