A dreamlike, time-bending novel from the acclaimed author of Strange Weather in Tokyo. Riko is trapped in a marriage soured by infidelity — until an old friend, Mr. Takaoka, teaches her how to live inside her dreams. Each night she slips into another life: a courtesan in Edo-era Japan, then a lady-in-waiting in the Heian period. As she moves between past and present, Riko is forced to reconsider her life as a wife, mother, and lover — and whether she's ready for a third great love. Praised by Kirkus (starred review) and Publishers Weekly for its blend of historical fiction, Japanese literary tradition, and quiet, aching meditations on love. Condition: Like new with very minor creasing on the cover (paperback)
