Title: Best novel
Product review: This is the best novel I've read in many, many years. The characters of the lady poet and the samurai are profoundly engaging. I felt I learned a great deal about them, about medieval Japan, and about human love and loss. This is a war story and a love story I will want to read again. It is powerfully and even beautifully written. I don't know how the author manages to get inside the culture and the heads and hearts of her characters, but I am grateful she did.
