| Synopsis: |
Two women samurai . . .Two different centuries . . .A story of secrets, lies, love, war and ambitionthat has consequences for Japan itselfModern Englishwoman, Bebe Bell, is working in Japan. Time-travel mixes her mind with male samurai, Kai Matsuda. Soon, she is living a double life - her own in modern Japan - and the other living as Kai, fighting in the civil war of the 1860's which changed Japan forever.Yoshi is a young woman forced to disguise herself as a samurai in order to deliver an important message to the emperor's court. Living as a man gives her influence and respect - things she has never experienced as a woman of her time. She becomes intoxicated with the power of it - which takes her life down undreamed of paths.Circumstances bring her into the world of Kai - and the attraction between them is immediate - but they are fighting on opposing sides and Yoshi can never disclose her true sex to anyone, especially Kai: but he has Bebe in his mind and events take an unexpected turn.In her own life, Bebe falls in love with Kenji Yoshida, a man who hides his true self under a cloak of conventionality and is afraid to find joy in his life. He has a secret that is destroying him and he cannot allow himself to love Bebe.When these four people's lives intermingle, it changes their perceptions, ambitions and reality.'Rutherford has established herself as a writer with great insight into Japanese culture and the power to deliver unique plots and marvellous characters.'
