"Set in late 19th-century Tokyo, The Wild Geese is a poignant tale of love, longing, and the constraints of society. Otama, a young woman forced into becoming the mistress of a wealthy moneylender, dreams of a better life. Her quiet existence is disrupted when she meets Okada, a kind-hearted medical student, and an unspoken bond forms between them. Yet, their connection is haunted by the rigid social norms of Meiji-era Japan.

Mori ?gai masterfully weaves a story of unfulfilled desires and the quiet struggles of individuals caught between tradition and modernity. With its delicate prose and profound emotional depth, The Wild Geese remains a timeless exploration of human vulnerability and the bittersweet nature of hope.

A classic of Japanese literature, this novel captures the essence of a society in transition and the universal yearning for freedom and love."
