But after three divorcesand a temperament much too strongwilled for her familys approvalshe ran away to make a life for herself in one of the largest cities in the world: Edo, a bustling metropolis at its peak.With Tsuneno as our guide, we experience the drama and excitement of Edo just prior to the arrival of American Commodore Perrys fleet, which transformed Japan. During this pivotal moment in Japanese history, Tsuneno bounces from tenement to tenement, marries a masterless samurai, and eventually enters the service of a famous city magistrate. Tsunenos life provides a window into 19thcentury Japanese cultureand a rare view of an extraordinary woman who sacrificed her family and her reputation to make a new life for herself, in defiance of social conventions.A compelling story, traced with meticulous detail and told with exquisite sympathy (The Wall Street Journal), Stranger in the Shoguns City is a vivid, polyphonic portrait of life in 19thcentury Japan [that] evokes the Shogun era with panache and insight (National Review of Books).
