About This Novel

In 1839, a Japanese woman named Tsuneno fled her hometown and walked from the countryside to the capital Edo. She was 35 years old this year and had been divorced three times. Her family was eager to marry her off again, no matter who it was. In Edo, life was much harder than in the countryside. Tsuneno could only live in a room the size of three stacks (about 5 square meters), without even a change of coat. As a foreigner, her life is as fragile as duckweed. Fire, famine, shogunate reform... Any disturbance may destroy her hard-won new life. Everyone in her hometown wanted Changye to admit defeat and go home, but she didn't.
