Posljednja konkubina

Posljednja konkubina

Lesley Downer

The year is 1861. Growing up deep in the mountains of Japan, Sachi has always felt different.

Her pale skin and well-proportioned appearance made her stand out from her friends and family. When she was just eleven years old, a princess passed through her village and took her to the women's palace in the magnificent city of Edo. The palace, full of intrigue and erotic competition, housed three thousand women and only one man - the young shogun. Sachi was chosen to be his concubine. But Japan was changing. The Black Ships had arrived from the west with foreigners eager to add Japan to their colonial empire. Civil war broke out and Sachi fled. After being rescued by a rebel warrior, she felt feelings she had never known before. But before she could dare to think of a life with him, she must uncover the secret of her origins - a secret that hides an injustice so painful that it threatens to destroy her. Set during one of the most turbulent periods in Japanese history, Sachi's story is a powerful blend of adventure and deep romance. From the timeless beauty of a woman's cry in Edo to the bloody battles outside its walls, "The Last Concubine" is an epic evocation of a country in the midst of upheaval and a young woman's search for her own identity.
