The Storyteller and His Three Daughters
Author(s): Lian Hearn
TOKYO 1884: Sei has devoted his life to storytelling, captivating audiences with his tales. But now he is starting to wonder if the new world has left him behind. Just when he thinks he will never write again, his own life and the lives of the people around him begin to spiral out of control - providing the inspiration for the greatest story he has ever told. A story of love, jealousy, intrigue, and betrayal. Set against the background of Japan's first incursions into Korea, Sei offers a wise and witty reflection on the nature of storytelling, its perils and delights, its lies and, ultimately, its truth.
Lian Hern weaves a gentle path through the Japanese and Korean plight wrapped in the social and family etiquette of an aged old tradition of the "Story Teller". A beautiful read, warm and quiet. ->CAROLINE
