Description
Acclaimed creator Kaoru Mori's tale of life on the nineteenth-century Silk Road continues in A Bride's Story, Vol. 9. Pariya's budding romance with Umar is off to a rough start due to her brash personality and lack of confidence. But if she can't figure out how to say what she wants with words, then perhaps the old adage is true—the way to a man's heart is through his stomach!
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.
