Publisher Description
A powerful tale of magic, love, and revenge set in fairy-tale Japan. Trained in the magical art of shadow-weaving, sixteen-year-old Suzume is able to re-create herself in any form - a fabulous gift for a girl desperate to escape her past. But who is she really? Is she a girl of noble birth living under the tyranny of her mother's new husband, Lord Terayama? Or a lowly drudge scraping a living in the ashes of Terayama's kitchens? Or is she Yue, the most beautiful courtesan in the Moonlit Lands? Whatever her true identity, Suzume is destined to use her skills to steal the heart of a prince in a revenge plot to destroy Terayama. And nothing will stop her, not even the one true aspect of her life- her love for a fellow shadow-weaver.

wow!
Normally i turn away from books that are young adult fiction. I am older and have a hard time with all the teenage angst. The author finds a wonderful way around that with the setting of the book. Although it is fictional, I have always had a fascination with Japanese culture and in this book I get that and fiction too! The story is well written and draws you in close from the first sentence. I am very sorry that this isn't a series and that iBooks doesn't have any more books by this author.
Whoa
This book is an amazing twist on a classic Cinderella story where instead of searching for the prince out of true love she does it for revenge and is a strong female hero
