Customer Reviews

Elegant Puzzling in Ancient Japan.

This one is fabulous. It takes the reader back to ancient Japan where the upper class hung out and recited poetry wrapped in clothing and customs completely unfamilar to the modern world. I can't wait to read her other one. Wish she'd come out with more.

Great Look at feudal Japan

In the tradition of Laura Joh Rowland, Ann Woodward makes fuedal Japan come alive for the average reader. The plot is well thought out, and definitely believable. A wonderful read!
