This book has it all, romance, subterfuge, and adventure. It is set amidst an important era of Scottish history and manages to both educate and excite. It is a book that every church goer should read. It is especially relevant in an age where religious bigotry still raises its head. Apart from being a thoroughly good read it is also an attempt to sensitively look at the Reformation against the broad sweep of Scottish history. As befits all good books the ending is especially worth waiting for !!!

Ichigensan is a novel which can be enjoyed on many levels - as a delicate, sensual love story, as a depiction of the refined society in Japan's cultural capital Kyoto, and as an exploration of the themes of alienation and prejudice common to many environments, regardless of the boundaries of time and place.Unusually, it shows Japan from the eyes of both an outsider and an 'internal' outcast, and even more unusually, it originally achieved this through sensuous prose carefully crafted by a non-native speaker of Japanese. The fact that this best-selling novella then won the Subaru Prize, one of Japan's top literary awards, and was also nominated for the Akutagawa Prize is a testament to its unique narrative power.The story is by no means chained to Japan, however, and this new translation by Takuma Sminkey will allow readers world-wide to enjoy the multitude of sensations engendered by life and love in an alien culture.
