Fowz Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Pretty much just as the title says; I'm looking for a good story set in ancient Japan or China. Very fond of all the ancient myths of the far east :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowz Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Apologies for the double post! No suggestions? I've done a bit or searching around and found Shikibu Murasaki - The Tale of Genji topping a list of novels set in Japan; anyone read it and recommend it?

LittleW Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Try Lara Joh Rowland. She wrote a series of mysteries with a samurai playing detective. The Tale of Genji is one of the most famous classics in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethany725 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Maybe some of Lisa See's books would be interesting for you? Not sure if they're in exactly the right timeframe, but worth a look! HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
