Certainly not prize winning literature. More of a page skipping illicit love story with tinges of Japanese WW2 brutality thrown in to color an otherwise boring work.
Even took the title from a Basho work of genius. Lots of pages with little reward.

If you’d like to read the best of Richard Flanagan pass on this poorly written, poorly edited, endless rambling work.
Compared to his other novels, this one seems to have been ghost written. Total waste of one’s precious time.
