Autumn Bridge
Takashi Matsuoka
Read by Jennifer Van Dyck
The follow-up to Cloud of Sparrows transports us once again to a world of samurai and geishas, ninjas and Zen masters.
It's the year 1311. A woman sits in the highest tower of Could of Sparrows Castle, watching out the window as enemies gather below. While calmly awaiting her fate, she writes an extraordinary tale on a scroll: the secret history of the Okumichi clan, the gift of prophecy they share, and thedestiny that awaits them.
These remarkable writings lay hidden for six centuries. The one day they are uncovered by an American woman, a missionary fleeing from a tragic past. She translates the fragile scroll, losing herself in an epic tale of heroism and forbidden love, enchantment and tragedy. She begins to see threads of her won life woven into the ancient writings. As past and present collide, a hidden history comes to life, and a secret prophecy emerges that may be finally revealed.
Intricately woven, magically told, Autumn Bridge is a feast for the senses.
