The last concubine

Downer, Lesley. (Author).

Summary: Closely based on historical events, chronicling 19th century Japan's extraordinary change from a medieval to a modern country, this is the story of a shogun, a princess and the three thousand women of the women's palace - all of whom really existed - and of the civil war that brought their way of life to an end. Sachi, a beautiful fifteen-year-old girl, is chosen as the shogun's concubine. But Japan is changing. Black Ships have arrived from the West, bringing foreigners eager to add Japan to their colonial empires. As civil war erupts, Sachi flees for her life. Rescued by a rebel warrior, she finds unknown feelings stirring within her; but this is a world in which private passions have no place.
