The Crane Wife

the crane wife

Explore place and setting throughout the novel. Both George and Kumiko have complicated relationships with place and nationality. George is seen as English when he is actually American and Kumiko never identifies where she has come from. How does this add meaning to the story?

Sorry, this is only a short answer space. You need to submit each of your questions one at a time.

Explore place and setting throughout the novel.

George's house is where pivotal moments take place in the story of unrequited love. It is where he first sees the crane, where he announces their engagement, and where he loses her. It is also the place where readers see the pretentiousness of the art world as his patrons attend the party at his house.
