Melihat perubahan dalam sejarah Jepang dari sudut pandang wanita... keren!!!

just magic..enchanting, a very good book

I took this book away with me on holiday. I loved it so much i wanted to come home early in the evening to finish it. Another beautiful read well worth it.

The minute I started reading the first page, I could not put the book down till I am done with the last page.A novel of history and romance beautifully intertwined that transports you into another world of cherry blossoms, women's palace and the time of war.A book that is highly recommended to spend your time reading.

Anybody who is interested in Japan in the 1800's should read this book. It is fiction intertwined with real historical events during the end of the shoguns and the beginning of Imperialistic Japan.

very good
