Book Description:
|
A grand tenth century love affair told by a beautiful lady-in-waiting in an ancient Japanese 'Pillow Book', as stylistically perfect and lovely as light glittering among reeds on the Inland Sea at evening.
... Or is it a brilliant fake by the lovesick archeologist who pens the Introduction.... The presentation of the setting -- an astonishingly recreated tenth century Japan -- is as precise and evocative as the finest Japanese brush painting.
