Ogata Shingo is growing old, and his memory is failing him. At night he
hears only the sound of death in the distant rumble from the mountain.
The relationships which have previously defined his life - with his son,
his wife, and his attractive daughter-in-law - are dissolving, and
Shingo is caught between love and destruction.
Lyrical and
precise, The Sound of the Mountain explores in immaculately crafted
prose the changing roles of love and the truth we face in ageing.
