Narration Toward Books The Garden of Evening Mists

It's Malaya, 1949. After studying law at Cambridge and time spent helping to prosecute Japanese war criminals, Yun Ling Teoh, herself the scarred lone survivor of a brutal Japanese wartime camp, seeks solace among the jungle-fringed plantations of Northern Malaya where she grew up as a child. There she discovers Yugiri, the only Japanese garden in Malaya, and its owner and creator, the enigmatic Aritomo, exiled former gardener of the Emperor of Japan.

Despite her hatred of the Japanese, Yun Ling seeks to engage Aritomo to create a garden in Kuala Lumpur, in memory of her sister who died in the camp. Aritomo refuses, but agrees to accept Yun Ling as his apprentice 'until the monsoon comes'. Then she can design a garden for herself.

As the months pass, Yun Ling finds herself intimately drawn to her sensei and his art while, outside the garden, the threat of murder and kidnapping from the guerrillas of the jungle hinterland increases with each passing day. But the Garden of Evening Mists is also a place of mystery. Who is Aritomo and how did he come to leave Japan? Why is it that Yun Ling's friend and host, Magnus Praetorius, seems almost immune from the depredations of the Communists? What is the legend of 'Yamashita's Gold' and does it have any basis in fact? And is the real story of how Yun Ling managed to survive the war perhaps the darkest secret of all?

Attempt #7:(This is going to be a long review because I have too many things to say. I just hope it's coherent.)Have you ever sat in a dark room listening to an intricate piece of music (like Sergey Rachmaninoff's 'Tears') and experienced a deep-seated sadness when the last note died off??Reading The Garden of Evening Mists felt like that.This book took me on a journey. It was turbulent and tranquil, beautiful and ugly - all at the same time - and when it was over, I found myself sitting by the

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Theres no denying that The Garden of Evening Mists is a wonderful piece of literature. The writing is beautiful and tragic at the same time, with hidden meanings buried deep within the characters words. It also manages to peel away the many layers of one womans incredibly complicated life in Malaya, and the horrors of war, in an almost cinematic way. Its atmospheric, with a hint of mystery, and you can feel the level of passion and

"The garden has to reach inside you. It should change your heart, sadden it, uplift it. It has to make you appreciate the impermanence of everything in life....that point in time just as the last leaf is about to drop, as the remaining petal is about to fall; that captures everything beautiful and sorrowful about life."This is the story of a garden and of the man and woman who made the garden. It is a story about remembering, and a story about forgetting. As in all gardens, there is death and

I'm going to do something in this post that I have noticed no one else who has done a "proper" review that I have read of this book has done. In fact, two things. By proper I mean reviews that have been published in old school places like literary reviews, and book sections of newspapers. I tend to read a book then have a quick look around the web for other peoples thoughts. Today's scout disappointed me.So here it is.1. I am not going to spoil the book. Unlike every review I have read, I am not



I think this is a remarkable novel and I was captured from the opening sentence:"On a mountain above the clouds once lived a man who had been the gardener of the Emperor of Japan."It is essentially a historical novel which looks at the role of memory and forgetting. The protagonist and narrative voice is Teoh Yun Ling; she is a retiring Supreme Court Judge in the late 1980s. As a young woman, she and her sister were prisoners of the Japanese during World War Two. She survived and her sister did
