A Bride's Story, Vol. 10

Acclaimed creator Kaoru Mori's tale of life on the nineteenth-century Silk Road continues. Sensing a gap between the boy that he is and the man he would like to become, Karluk leaves his hometown to learn directly from the experts—who also happen to be his nomadic in-laws. Over the course of several months, Karluk is determined to master the skills of shooting, riding, and falconry, which have allowed Amir's people to live on these unforgiving lands. Karluk's mind has been focused solely on developing his own strengths, but he soon learns that for the Halgal clan, a successful hunt is a matter of their very survival... 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.
