Résumé
In the mid-19th-century, the inheritor of his clan's visionary power to see the future is Lord Genji, a powerful samurai warlord who favours western style modernization for Japan but faces fierce opposition from the antiforeigner element. Compounding his political troubles… is his love affair with an American missionary, Emily Gibson, who has been in Japan for six years, doing her missionary work, trying to hide her feelings for Genji, and translating a series of mysterious scrolls recounting the history of the clan. As she reads the scrolls, she discovers inexplicable references to her own life and her association with Genji's family. Some descriptions of sex, some violence. 2004.
