I was so busy and I could't find a second to write somethink that might be interested (I started new job and I come back really late). But no more excuses. I have something I want share with you.
Last week I finished a really good book. I took it from the library in my village, I started reading it but I found out it as another boring book what was strange because the story in the book was something I am interested in. One day, when I had to go somewhere far from home I took this book just to read it insted listening to music all the time and that's it. I got into that book and I could't stop. Let me introduce you the aouthor and her wonderful work.
Lesley Downer, the author of this book spent many years in Japan being interested in history of that country and their culture. We all know that you can still see tradicions from the past in present days. That's whata Lesley did. She wrote a masterpice in which she combined a bit of the history, fobidden love, tradition and the truth about live in the past.
The title is "The last concubine". It is a story about Sachi, a beautiful girl who was leaving with her parents in a small village when the new and in the same time the first wife of the young shogun was traveling to her new home, the palace in city called Edo. When she sa Sachi, she chose her to go with her to the palace.
It was an honour to be chosen by shogun's wife and live with other women in Edo.
Years later it was Sachi who was chosen by shogun to be his concubine. One night changed everything in her live.She realised what the love is.
But the live wasn't very easy for women in the palace. Shogun was killed and they no longer were safe. Sachi had to leave the palace to safe the first wife who was also her friend. During that trip to nowhere she met a young man who safed her and they grew closer. The problem was that she was shogun's wife and even if he was dead, she still couldn't be in involved in any relationship....
What happened next... I won't tell you. If you like that kind of stories you should go and find this book in the library or just go and buy. It is worth spending few hours reading this story.
I hope some of you will read this book and for those who will do it I wish a very relaxing time ;)
P.S. Shanna, now it is your turn for a book ;)
