Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Praised for its epic scope and descriptive detail, Across the Nightingale Floor, the first book of the Tales of the Otori, was an international bestseller and critical success, named by the London Times as "the most compelling novel to have been published this year." With Grass for His Pillow, Book Two of the Tales of the Otori, we return to the medieval Japan of Hearn's creation-a land of harsh beauty and deceptive appearances.

Review:

A welcome sequel to the deliciously readable Across the Nightingale Floor (New York Times Book Review)

Synopsis:

The spellbinding second installment of the internationally bestselling Tales of the Otori trilogy transports readers back to a mythical, medieval Japan in a story of clashing powers, divided loyalties, and passionate love.

About the Author

Lian Hearn was born in England and later settled in Australia, has a lifelong interest in Japan, has lived there, and speaks Japanese.

The sequel to Across the Nightingale Floor, and just as great. This series is compulsive reading for me -- I just can't put these books down!
