What is Cloud of Sparrows : A Novel about?

“Exotic, entertaining... [an] exceptional first novel.”—San Francisco ChronicleThe year is 1861. After two centuries of isolation, Japan has opened its doors to the West. And as foreign ships threaten to rain destruction on the Shogun's castle in Edo, a small group of American missionaries has arrived to spread the word of their God. They have yet to realize that their future in Japan has already been foreseen. For a young nobleman has dreamt that his life will be saved by an outsider in the New Year... and it is said that Lord Genji has the gift of prophecy. What happens next—when the handsome lord meets an appa rently reformed gunslinger and a woman in flight from her own destructive beauty—sets the stage for a remarkable adventure. For as this unlikely band embarks on a journey through a landscape bristling with danger, East and West, flesh and spirit, past and future, collide in ways no one—least of all Genji—could have imagined.Praise for Cloud of Sparrows“The book seizes you from start to finish.”—The Washington Post “Adventure-filled.”—Entertainment Weekly “Rich... with an ambitious, unexpected ending that cuts deeper than a samurai sword.”—San Francisco Chronicle
