"I loved this book with a passion and it made me want to read the Tale of Genji for the first time. And the second time I read it, it should be with the Tale of Genji in one hand and the Tale of Murasaki in the other! More than a glimpse into a hidden ancient culture, it was a look at how people relate to each other and how our actions affect them. An incredible read!"

"I enjoyed the first part, and learned a few things about Japan (and China, due to Murasaki's friendship with a Chinese man). However, the minutiae of the Japanese court, the ladies, the servants, the arrangements and endless poems didn't really grab my attention. I did learn that most people's lives there seemed to be at the whim of man and fate. 10 points for the summer09 challenge and not easily achieved"

"This was a beautiful story, some of the poems within conjured up gorgeous imagery. I did prefer the first half, the pre-court story as I found the story of her time with the royal court a little hard to follow (too many names to keep track of at some points, or maybe that was just me!) and, at times, it felt like it was not really going anywhere. I was also a little disappointed with the end, it felt a little rushed and rather suddenly wrapped up."
