Description
Gail Tsukiyama writes intimate, character-driven historical fiction set in mid 20th-century China and Japan. While her leisurely paced and richly textured novels address broad historical issues such as communism, government oppression, and war, Tsukiyama's quiet and emotionally moving stories tend to focus on individual struggles and complex family drama within these tumultuous political and social climates. The narratives themselves are often tragic and bleak, but the lyrical prose, evocative characterization, and vividly rendered period atmosphere endow them with poignant beauty. Start with: The Samurai's Garden
