Publisher's Synopsis

'A work of art...altogether a joyous and lovely thing' New York Times

Set in a remote fishing village in Japan,
The Sound of Waves is a timeless story of first love.

It tells of Shinji, a young fisherman and Hatsue, the beautiful daughter of the wealthiest man in the village. Shinji is entranced at the sight of Hatsue in the twilight on the beach and they fall in love. When the villagers' gossip threatens to divide them, Shinki must risk his life to prove his worth.
