Luke

by Akemi G.

"Falling in love is a second birthing; life is never the same way as it once was." In this modern adaptation of The Tale Of Genji, a classic that has enchanted Japanese readers for one thousand years, Luke falls for Wisteria, his uncle's new wife. Even though he feels indebted to his uncle, who raised him as his guardian, Luke seduces her anyway. As he repeats the act of adultery, he grows even more serious about her.

Guarding this secret is a priority in Luke's life. Luke is not, however, a victim of his circumstances and his own virility; he enjoys discussing Shakespeare, appreciates beautiful gardens, and he is a sharp business strategist. Eventually, he finds a more fulfilling relationship with another woman. He still must guard his secret.

And life still has more surprises for him . . .

About the author

I indie-published WHY WE ARE BORN in 2014. It has been selling steadily primarily by word of mouth, and I cannot thank enough.

"I consider this book required reading for any metaphysical seeker. Pretty big praise, but well-deserved because she takes concepts that are huge and often confusing to the average Joe or Jane and makes them understandable and relatable to real life."
~ Pathways magazine

My next goal is to entertain you with fiction; novels that shake your common sense and are loving in a strange way.

What you find on GR is Akemi as a person who likes to read, among other things. I think it's awkward when an author comments to the reviews of their own books, so I restrain myself from doing so; in other words, I seldom use GR for my marketing.

Happy reading.
