Brilliant stuff! I absolutely loved this book, and also Having the Builders In, which comes before this. It's only sad that there aren't any more in the series. It's a nice, light read and made me smile while retaining a good sense of historical period and accuracy.

Good read for all ages. Read the first time as a child and reread recently and still enjoyed it. There isn't much dialogue but the descriptions are great. A good survival story that is slightly (probably barely) based on historical fact. Interesting and held up well.

Book Favorite

"The deepest and most thrilling of all Japanese novels, which embodies the refined sensibility and historical burden of a nation just on the cusp of World War II. The novels of Kawabata, the Nobel prizewinner, are also dear to my heart, especially the Sound of the Mountain."

Definitely a good read - especially if you like steamy romance, camaraderie and bloody battles.

Shadow of the Swan by Nicola M. Cameron - @Archaeolibrary, @Bethb19861, @YesItsNicolaC, #Historical, #Paranormal, #Romance, 4 out of 5 (very good)
