Japan, 1857: as the West pressures the country to open up, the old samurai order crumbles. Tsuru, a doctor’s daughter educated for an arranged marriage, becomes caught up in political conspiracies and a risky love that lead her to an unexpected scene: tending the wounded in the midst of civil war, surrounded by men.
The translation is by Jeannie Emery; the original work, «Blossoms and Shadows», was published in 2010.
For lovers of historical fiction who want a Japanese story with a female protagonist and a romantic backdrop.
