Blossoms and Shadows by Lian Hearn
This is the story of the birth of modern Japan, told by Tsuru, a young woman who breaks every stereotype of the Japanese lady. We meet her on the day of her sister's wedding, but unlike her sister she is not about to take on the domestic role that is expected of her.
The government is crumbling, revolution is building as the age of the Samurai is coming to a violent end. A compelling and beautiful tale of love and war.
About the Author: Lian Hearn
Lian Hearn studied modern languages at Oxford University and worked as a film critic and arts editor in London before settling in Australia. A lifelong interest in Japan led to the study of the Japanese language and many trips to Japan. This fascination culminated in the writing of Across the Nightingale Floor, the first in the internationally acclaimed Tales of the Otori series. Grass for his Pillow, Brilliance of the Moon and The Harsh Cry of the Heron. (One of our most popular series ever)
