Synopsis:

In 1860, France's silk trade is threatened by an epidemic. To obtain uncontaminated silk worm eggs, a young man goes on a clandestine journey to Japan--where he falls in love with a lovely, non-Oriental concubine. This critically acclaimed narrative, seamless as a piece of fine silk, plays on the imagination, haunting as a strain of beautiful music.

Review:

"A fine novella....Not the slightest hint of affectation mars this almost perfect little story, which, while scarcely raising its voice above a whisper, builds to a wrenching climax and denouement. Masterly."

Kirkus, 10/15/1997
