Fumiko Enchi revealed a family secret in “Citadel.” The writer made her grandmother, who lived at the beginning of the Meiji era, the heroine of the novel. In an era when the old feudal order coexisted with revolutionary changes. For... “Citadel,” Fumiko Enchi received one of the most prestigious Japanese literary awards – the Noma. The husband commanded Tomo to choose a young concubine of her liking and bring her to their family home. As a dutiful wife, Tomo obeyed. As a woman, Tomo covered her soul with impenetrable armor and transformed into a citadel.
