Across the Nightingale Floor : The Tales of The Otori
Japanese is one of my favourite countries. Despite what you may think about the rush in Tokyo, their cultures as well as martial arts, got me attracted in the first time.
Indeed, I learnt Karate long time ago, and really enjoyed reading Musashi, a great book, watched Ronin & Shogun (Shogun was one of great movie in the early time of RCTI in the late 80’s).
I can describe this book with three words : love, war, and braveness (what a good combinations, isn’t it?). The main plot is typical Japanese state-of-the-art styles : getting know of your personal identity, conflict of clans, love, and sacrifices.
The plot is simple, not too many complicated. What I enjoy reading this book is a “live” description of Japanese towns, love intrigue inside war, and a plot that flow consistently.
While I only spend one day (3.5 hours to read the first book), I am now reading the second book to finish.
Enjoy reading !
