Blurb (from back cover): "In 1861 French Silkworm merchant Herve Joncour travels to Japan. He strikes a business deal with a local baron there and is utterly bewitched by the man's concubine, a girl who does not have oriental eyes. Subtle, tender and surprising, Silk is an entracing tale of erotic possession and the lasting power of love."
Opinion: This is one of the 1001 books to have read and I can see why. This should have only taken a day or two to read but since I'm still trying to adjust to a new reading time since I don't have the subway commute anymore. This was a very compelling book. I enjoyed it.
