Critical Reviews
"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
