A review by grayjay
The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu

3.0

This took me over two years to read, so it felt like an era as much as a book. It was written by a noble woman in the 11th century Japan, and it gives us a glimpse into such an alien world it may as well be a fantasy. It was at times extremely dull and difficult to follow but particular episodes will stay with me for the rest of my life.
