How did I not know about this little gem? The Gardens of Kyoto is an eloquent book and in important ways, a ghost story of those who have touched the lives of those who are left behind.The title alludes to a book, gifted to a young Ellen by her cousin and presumed love interest Randall, who, we quickly learn, was killed in the war. (The first sentences: I had a cousin, Randall, killed in Iwo Jima. Have I told you?â€) The gardens are unlike anything that Ellen can imagine: “There is a garden in Kyoto meant to be viewed at night in shadows…The point is, the entire thing- the pathways, the fountains, the lakes, the cherry trees—is an illusion: colorless shadows without scent cast by large paper cutouts.â€In truth, though, illusions and reality merge. Kyoto, once on the short list in place of Hiroshima, survives and so does Ellen. But in the meantime, its magic looms large in the imagination – the look, the shape, the story of the gardens varying, depending on who is doing the viewing.The ghosts that inhabit Ellen’s life are Randall, Ellen’s first love and mentor…his mother, who died early in his life, leaving him with his elderly father, and the house they inhabited, once an important depot for the Underground Railroad. There’s Ellen’s adult lover, Henry Rock, driven mad by the war and his role in it as an understated hero.And then there are the ghosts that are banished from conversation in the 1950s: unwed pregnancies, illicit liaisons, emotionally and mentally damaged veterans, domestic abuse, lack of empowerment experienced by women. “We are not used to display,†Ellen explains, “this bare truth.†Indeed, as the underbelly of the 1950s are slowly revealed, the effect becomes jarring.To add to the merging of illusion and reality, key plot points rely on letters: the letters sent by Henry to Daphne, Ellen’s friend, that wind up in Ellen’s hands…the false letters that Henry himself writes when Daphne doesn’t answer him…the letter from Randall’s aunt that is the key to a dark family secret…the bloodstained letters used by a professor/horticulturist who advocates for the salvation of Kyoto. And, of course, the Gardens of Kyoto itself, the book that illuminates a way of thinking for an impressionable young girl.The Gardens of Kyoto is a luminous book, somewhat elusive, enormously powerful, and filled with beauty and truths. There is real power in these words.
The Gardens of Kyoto are not green. They are 15 rocks at rest on a bed of raked sand meant to be viewed from different angles so that the viewer can see, ''their fragments in relation.'' That is exactly how the reader should view the text in this dreamlike book within a book.Recently, I've discovered several other excellent books whose major theme is also how the protagonist deals with grief. Among them are "Garden of Evening Mists" by Tan Twan Eng,"We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves," by Karen Joy Fowler and Marilynne Robinson's "Lila." What all these novels have in common is that the grieving process is unique, that it is "seen" through then eyes of a female heroine, and that all the novels are complex, thus allowing the authors to display their full range of literary virtuosity. Any one of these novels is prize-worthy. All of them should be on your List of Novels to Read Before I Die.For a rich and beautiful reading experience with many layered emotions, events, and temporal locations Walbert's novel is a must read.
Warbert conveys the power of familial friendship with her narrator's reflections on how her male cousin remained a powerful influence in her life, even after his death in WWII. Throughout her story there are a variety of characters whose influence on her, while positive, simply cannot match the power of her cousin, who in many respects was the one true love in her life, albeit only in her memories of him.There is a spiritual element in her story through her allusions to and descriptions of the Gardens of Kyoto. Along the way, she also delves into the political thought process that surrounded whether Kyoto would be destroyed by the atomic bomb. Toward the of of her story, we realize that she is writing it for her daughter. Walbert's poetic, lyrical language tales it beyond a moving story into the realm of powerful literature. I've already recommended it to many of my "reader" friends.
Kate Walbert is an extraordinary author. She has a way with words, both lyrical and seductive. If she wrote the telephone book, I know that it would be one of the most beautiful books ever written. This is my third novel by Walbert, and each time she amazes me again with the poetry and imagery with which she imbues every story.Like her other novels I've read, A Short History of Women and Where She Went, The Gardens of Kyoto weaves stories within stories. It is ostensibly a coming-of-age tale during and following the second world war. Ellen is a young girl, growing up in eastern Pennsylvania, in love with her cousin Randall, whom we learn in the first sentence was killed on Iwo Jima. The rest of the book moves back and forth in time, mingling their tragic story with that of Ruby and Sterling, Daphne and Gideon, Ellen and John.The narrative is written in stream of consciousness, jumping from one memory to another as she narrates her history to a person identified only at the the end of the novel. The whole novel moves at a slow pace, there is no rush of action or emotion, no crescendo, and yet it is perfect in this. It is not a story that would lend itself well to a huge reveal or adventure. And this is exactly what I love about it. It is a novel that you read simply for the joy of a beautifully written word.
