Description
Acclaimed creator Kaoru Mori's tale of life on the nineteenth-century Silk Road continues. Mr. Smith keeps on his journey retracing his steps, stopping next at a seaside village where he is greeted by a pair of enthusiastic young brides!
Laila and Leily are eager to prove themselves as capable hostesses, but failing in the attempt could have serious social consequences. As the twins scramble in the kitchen, the discussion around the table turns to recent rumours of danger in the region. Mr. Smith now faces a difficult decision—turn back, or risk pressing on to his final stop?
Crafted in painstaking detail, Ms. Mori's pen breathes life into the scenery and architecture of the period in this heart-warming, slice-of-life tale that is at once wholly exotic, yet familiar and accessible through the everyday lives of the characters she has created.
A Bride's Story, Vol. 13 is a testament to Mori's skill at creating immersive narratives with richly detailed art.
