Fascinating book and an easy read. Using the crumbling of Japan’s Shogun era as a background, the book unfolds a great story full with details of both emotions and physical surroundings. I liked 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.

I think this book is an enjoyable enough read it mixes fiction with some interesting historical detail. It all occurs in Japan in the 1800's during the end of the shoguns and the beginning of Imperialistic Japan. I suffered as the book is 620 pages long and there are lots of descriptions, Lesley Downer describes everything the rooms, the clothes, the rituals, the calligraphy, even the scents are described in minute details. I don't know how accurate the historical events surrounding the story are but they seem well researched and to that extent are informative. It is a good read just before falling asleep :)

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.

No se si la traduccion era tan mala o el original tan pobre, pero me parece que se aprovecho muy poco todo lo que se podria contar en una histori asi. Descafeinado. que pena.

a real insight into how women were treated and the beautiful clothing and ornaments they had if they were "someone" and how they were not even to be looked at or spoken to in some cases as they were so worshipped and yet still inferior to the males. 3000 women in a palace, lots of bitching! it was such a moving book and i would recommend it to any one interested in the history and status of women in Japan x
