Joe Hindle’s Reviews > The Samurai and the Prisoner > Status Update

This is a fabulous novel. I love the historical nature of it which comes to the fore when the author mentions real life events, demonstrating how interwoven the narrative is with history. There are some questions I have about certain scenes, when Murashige is explaining how different killings occurred, because I am unable to keep up with his explanations. I also like how paranoid the novel gets!
