Minoru Aose is an architect whose greatest achievement is to have
designed the Yoshino house, a prizewinning and much discussed
private residence built in the shadow of Mount Asama. Aose has
never been able to replicate this triumph and his career seems to
have hit a barrier, while his marriage has failed. He is shocked to
learn that the Yoshino House is empty apart from a single chair,
stood facing the north light of nearby Mount Asama. How can he live
with the rejection of the work he had put his heart and soul into,
the dream house he would have loved to own himself? Aose determines
that he must discover the truth behind this cruel and inexplicable
dismissal of the Yoshino house and in doing so will find out a
truth that goes back to the core of who he is. Plotted with the
subtlety of his bestselling masterpiece Six Four, The North Light
is Yokoyama at his elusive, tantalising and surprising best.
