Krátky popis
Shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize 2020, a vivid work of
history that explores the life of an unconventional woman in Edo -
now known as Tokyo - and a portrait of a great city on the brink of
momentous change'Compelling... Deeply absorbing' GuardianThe
daughter of a Buddhist priest, Tsuneno was born in 1804 in a
village in Japan's snow country and was expected to lead a life
much like her mother's. Instead - after three divorces and with a
temperament much too strong-willed for her family's approval - she
ran away to follow her own path in Edo, the city we now call
Tokyo.Stranger in the Shogun's City is a rare, captivating portrait
of one woman as she endeavours to recreate herself and her life,
and provides a window into the drama and excitement of Japan at a
pivotal moment in history. 'Marvellous... Stanley builds up a
picture of Tsuneno's world, immersing us in an experience akin to
time travel' TLS* Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award
for Biography 2020 ** Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Biography
