"Exquisite craftsmanship" (Guardian)"An exquisite novel about four sisters living though a turbulent decade, during the Forties and Fifties, I'd put it in the 10 greatest books of the 20th century" (David Mitchell)"One of the books I return to frequently is Junichiro Tanizaki?s The Makioka Sisters: a near-perfect novel" (Hanya Yanagihara)"A complex, detailed and agreeably gossipy book...The author's obvious nostalgia for this vanished world does not prevent him from looking objectively at its darker side and this, together with his artful blend of the exotic and the mundane, creates an absorbing and richly textured story" (Sunday Times)"A subtle, moving novel" (The Times)

'A near-perfect novel' Hanya YanagiharaIn the years leading up to the Second World War, four sisters live in dilapidated houses in Osaka and Ashiya, and each navigate their own complex, personal relationship to the fading lustre of the Makioka family name.
