About this book
Set in old Japan, this delicate romance blends love, intrigue, and the atmosphere of an idealized Japanese court, told with the exotic charm that made its author a best-seller. Onoto Watanna—the pen name of Winnifred Eaton, one of the first Asian American novelists—was a pioneering literary figure who found fame with tender, romantic tales of Japan. Graceful and evocative, the novel reflects the era's fascination with the East while showcasing a groundbreaking author's storytelling gifts. A charming period romance, Daughters of Nijo is notable both as engaging fiction and as the work of a trailblazing writer in the history of Asian American literature.
