ACROSS THE NIGHTINGALE FLOOR - TALES OF THE OTORI (BOOK ONE) by LIAN HEARN
|
SummaryEvery now and then a novel appears, completely unlike
anything that has appeared before. Across the Nightingale
Floor is such a work-a magical creation of a world beyond
time. Set in an imaginary, ancient Japanese society dominated by
warring clans, Across the Nightingale Floor is a story of a
boy who is suddenly plucked from his life in a remote and
peaceful village to find himself a pawn in a political
scheme, filled with treacherous warlords, rivalry-and the
intensity of first love. In a culture ruled by codes of
honor and formal rituals, Takeo must look inside himself to
discover the powers that will enable him to fulfill his
destiny. A work of transcendent storytelling with an appeal that
crosses genres, genders, and generations, Across the
Nightingale Floor is a rich and brilliantly constructed
tale, mythic in its themes and epic in its vision. It is
poised to become the most captivating novel of the year.
