suspendedinair 's review for:

The Tale of Murasaki by Liza Dalby
3.0

this was a really cute book.

it is one of the first books i read to learn more about japanese history. i learned a lot about traditions acquired from chinese culture, and a lot about japanese court culture and social class.

it's interested to read about the woman behind the tales of genji, and all of the drama and beauty of her life.

3 / 5 stars
