5.0 out of 5 stars Haunting is a good description..., July 15, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Thirst for Love (Paperback)
The intensity of the jealousies and frustrations simmering under the surface of this superficially simple story explodes in the last few pages in a way which is surprising and shocking enough to linger in the memory.

4.0 out of 5 stars Restrained elegance, November 23, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Thirst for Love (Paperback)
One of Mishima's more restrained works, "Thirst for Love" has a quiet elegance. As we follow the narrator down her lonely and doomed path, it is clear that we are in the hands of a skilled storyteller.

4.0 out of 5 stars ., October 10, 1999
This review is from: Thirst for Love (Paperback)
Mishima is a fascinating and intoxicating author to me, but I felt a little disappointed with Thirst for Love after having read the Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea. It seems less focused somehow; I found certain segments a bit dull and the end somewhat dissatisfying (not just because it wasn't "happy.") But, those are just the cons -- I still think this is quite a book. Etsuko's psychology is fascinating, and there are some great moments. Quality, unconventional stuff.
