Volume 7 - 1st printing.
Story and art by Kaoru Mori. Translated by William Flanagan.
A slice-of-life tale about a twenty-year old bride who marries a twelve-year old boy in 19th-century Asia. As Mr. Smith continues his journey to India, he is welcomed into the home of a wealthy tradesman and his wife, Anis. Custom dictates that, as a woman, Anis is not permitted to meet their visitor face-to-face, but even so, she counts herself blessed to live in such a beautiful estate and be married to a man who devotes himself solely to her. Still, one cannot help but long for the companionship of another person when one's closest friend is a reluctant Persian cat. In her loneliness, Anis visits the public bath house and discovers a place where she feels immediately free among her fellow sisters.

Volume 8 - 1st printing.
Story and art by Kaoru Mori. Translated by William Flanagan.
As Anis and Sherine settle into a new life built on love and friendship, tragedy and destruction have thrown the Eihons' village into turmoil. Conflict with neighboring tribes has taken its toll, leaving Pariya's family home in ruins. Though no one was hurt, little survived the assault, including the fabrics meant for Pariya's dowry. Despite her anxieties, staying with the Eihons during the reconstruction gives Pariya the opportunity to learn from Amir and her family and build up her self-confidence as she prepares for a hopeful future.

Volume 9 - 1st printing.
Story and art by Kaoru Mori. Translated by William Flanagan.
Acclaimed creator Kaoru Mori's tale of life on the 19th-century Silk Road continues. 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, that 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.
Hardcover, 6-in. x 8 1/2-in., 192 pages, B&W. Ages 16 and Up
