3.5

This one is hard to rate because I am more than sure that I could not fully appreciate the novel because of the translation. Some sentences felt really awkward and would sound fine in Japanese but not in English. 

"Snow Country" is full of beautiful imagery and melancholy; It is a book about wasted beauty, stagnation and lost connection.
