Acclaimed creator Kaoru Mori's tale of life on the nineteenth century
Silk Road continues.
Mr. Smith keeps on his journey retracing his steps, stopping next at a
seaside village where he is greeted by a pair of enthusiastic young
brides! Laila and Leily are eager to prove themselves as capable
hostesses, but failing in the attempt could have serious social
consequences. As the twins scramble in the kitchen, the discussion
around the table turns to recent rumors of danger in the region. Mr.
Smith now faces a difficult decision--turn back, or risk pressing on to
his final stop?
Crafted in painstaking detail, Ms. Mori's pen breathes life into the
scenery and architecture of the period in this heart-warming,
slice-of-life tale that is at once wholly exotic, yet familiar and
accessible through the everyday lives of the characters she has created.
