Across the Nightingale Floor
Lian Hearn
An Australian writer and a book written for teenagers recommended
by Louise the local librarian who said "if you like Phillip
Pulman, you'll like this" - and I did. It's set in medieval Japan
and is about a boy who survives a massacre and is rescued by a
nobleman. Vivid descriptions and a fine story which continues in
the sequel, Grass for his Pillow.
