Silk
Alessandro Baricco
When an epidemic threatens to wipe out the silk trade in France, Herve Joncour (a young silkworm breeder) has to travel overland to distant Japan, to smuggle out healthy silkworms. In the course of his secret negotiations with the local baron, Joncour's attention is arrested by the man's concubine, a girl who does not have oriental eyes.

Posted by sappho (1 year ago ) A poetic masterpiece that reminded my of Margaret Dumas' writing. Destined to be a classic.
