Heaven's Net is Wide
Heaven's Net is Wide | Lian Hearn
3 posts | 11 read | 7 to read
The new beginning and the grand finale of Lian Hearn's celebrated Tales of the Otori is "rivetingly elegant" (Washington Post). Don't miss the related series, The Tale of Shikanoko. Heaven's Net Is Wide is the prequel that reveals the full story of Lord Otori Shigeru—the figure who has presided in both life and death over the entire series, the man who represents the true spirit of the Otori Clan. The first and the last tale, it introduces readers to the strange and beautiful world of the Otori and closes the circle where it opened in Across the Nightingale Floor. Set in a mythical, medieval Japan, this epic historical fantasy of revenge and betrayal, honor and loyalty, beauty, passion, and the overwhelming power of love, has enthralled millions of readers the world over—and now, with the cycle complete, its audience will only continue to grow. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Heaven's Net is Wide is the prequel to Across the Nightingale Floor. While the Tales of the Otori series is very good overall, this one is probably the weakest of the five.

Opening line: "The football was light, barely discernible among all the myriad noises if the autumn forest: the rustle of leaves scattering in the northwesterly wind, the distant beating of wings as geese flew southwards, the echoing sounds of the village far below, yet Isamu heard it and recognized it." #heavensnetiswide #series #lianhearn #bookcover #firstline #bookgnome #bookish #book
