“I agree, read it in August. Note for love2read: The setting is Japan in the 1700s with the addition of a Dutch trading co. Too bad you rule out older women! However you're too far away anyway so no loss I guess. Have found some great books as well as a book club on this site.”

“Follow this with A City of Tranquil Light, a beautiful, mostly true and inspiring story of missionaries in China.
Will miss the event but be sure to look up the Matt's if you go!”

“Give a little more info, pls. What is the place? which long-gone time? Who are the exotic characters.
Sounds like a real turn on to a potentially wonderful book.”
