Title : The Lady from Kyoto - Eric De Nabour - Book

Summary :

Kyoto, 1904. Since the assassination of her parents, wealthy silk manufacturers, Myako Matsuka has been under the guardianship of her brother Naoki. When he leaves for the front lines of the Russo-Japanese War, she must manage the family business alone. Myako is horrified to discover the working conditions of the female workers and does not hesitate to disobey her brother's instructions, revealing a proud and independent temperament.
But the troubled love she has for an English diplomat, Allan Pearson, as well as the intrusion into her life of a young Frenchman passionate about prints, Martin Fallières, will confuse the issue.
Tortured by the mystery of her parents' death, torn between her romantic instincts, her professional responsibilities and the loyalty she owes to her family, Myako will have to choose. Painful choices that will reveal a no less tragic truth about her past and steer her future in a direction very different from the one she envisioned.
