Excerpt
"I shall begin my tale on that day when I lost not only my father, but my mother and my two older brothers as well . . . In the morning of that day my name had been Murakami; I was a bushi, a knight’s son whom every woman in the village would fondle and spoil. Before the sun set I had been given the name Taro, a servant’s name, and I was of no more importance than that name implied."
Media reviews
"A riveting tale for teens who like adventure infused with an ancient historical flavor." Booklist, ALA
To enter THE SAMURAI'S TALE is to immerse oneself completely in sixteenth-century Japan, when powerful warlords struggled for supremacy. Seldom does a historical novel evoke the mood, color, and soul of an era as skillfully as this one does. . . .THE SAMURAI'S TALE, poetic yet unflinching, is excellent.” Boston Herald
