THE SNOW KIMONO
Paris, 1989. Recently retired police inspector Auguste Jovert receives a letter from a woman who claims to be his daughter. Two days later, a stranger knocks on his door. His name is Tadashi Omura, a former law professor. He tells Jovert stories about his life, and about a man named Katsuo Ikeda whom he met when they were both children and who later became a successful writer.
Set in France, Japan and Algeria, THE SNOW KIMONO is a jigsaw puzzle of a book. The stories that Omura and Jovert tell each other fit together in unpredictable ways. Each new story changes the possibilities of what might happen next. Little by little we glimpse how these men have lied to themselves and to each other. These lies are about to catch up with them.
THE SNOW KIMONO is the work of a natural storyteller. It's an intricately plotted novel that is both a psychological thriller and an unforgettable meditation on love and loss, on memory and its deceptions.
THE SNOW KIMONO is Mark's second novel under his own name. Twenty-five years ago he published the highly acclaimed OUT OF THE LINE OF FIRE, which was shortlisted for the Miles Franklin Award, the Adelaide Festival Prize and the Age Book of the Year Award.
