Acclaimed creator Kaoru Mori's tale of life on the nineteenth-century
Silk Road continues. Camera in tow, Smith retraces his journey to
photograph the people and places that have come to mean so much to him.
Though he has vast ground to cover, the inevitable delays of travel
afford Smith an opportunity to rest and reflect. On Amir and Karluk, who
have since sought the tutelage of Karluk's hardy brother-in-law. On
Pariya, struggling to complete the elaborate embroideries for her dowry.
On the young, energetic twin brides, Laila and Leily. On the grand
mansion that is to be the first stop on his return journey...
Crafted in painstaking detail, Ms. Mori's pen breathes life into the
scenery and architecture of the period in this heartwarming,
slice-of-life tale that is at once wholly exotic yet familiar and
accessible through the everyday lives of the characters she has created.
