THE TOKAIDO ROAD

By: Lucia St Clair Robson
Historical Fiction
Review By: Empress

I am bringing this book to your attention because it embodies a number of things that I found interesting. On one level it is the retelling of a Japanese Fable. On another level it is a story of romance, found in an unexpected place and time. Lastly it is a story of a journey, not just in the physical sense, but the spiritual as well. I found this book extremely well written and a highly compelling read. The author raises some interesting questions, not all of which she answers. Thus you are free to provide your own input. This is one of a handful of books that I not only keep close at hand, but recommend and purchase for friends. Don’t let me scare you off, it can be as light and bubbly a read as you may want. And it also provides some insights into a world that no longer has a place in our modern civilization. I hope you will try this book as well as others by the same author. I don’t believe you will be disappointed and hopefully you will have made a new friend.
