Title: very good, very sad
Review: I started reading this book because I play Go. I kept reading the book even after I figured out that it doesn't talk about the moves in detail because it's a damn good book. I'm one of those people that is always thinking about where other people around me have been. The idea of two people from such different lifestyles coming together and playing Go without speaking to each other about themselves tantalized me. I could put myself in the girl's place. I could put myself in the man's place. This book made me no better at Go, but it touched my heart. It made me cry and smile and quote passages aloud to friends. A good read for Go players, students of Japanese or Chinese culture, soldiers (or veterans of course), students of the Pacific War, people in love, and practically everyone else as long as they don't mind a very sad ending.
