«Autumn Bridge» is the historical novel by Takashi Matsuoka, published by Delacorte Press in hardback (415 pages, in English).
In 1311, a woman writes the secret history of the Okumichi clan, marked by the gift of prophecy. Six centuries later, in 1861, American missionary Emily Gibson arrives in Edo and discovers the writings. As she translates them for Lord Genji, Emily finds in the past echoes of her own life and a forbidden love.
Second and final installment of the Samurai series. The work alternates between two eras: 14th-century Japan and 19th-century Japan.
For readers of historical and romantic fiction set in Japan, particularly those who have read Cloud of Sparrows.
Cloud of Sparrows (2002) is the first historic novel by author Takashi Matsuoka featuring the struggle of Genji, the young Great Lord of Akaoka, in the year 1861. This is only six years after Japan opened to the West and features three American missionaries who become involved with Genji, notably, Emily who hopes to find solace in Japan and build a church and Matthew, a product of the American West who seeks revenge.
