Nightingale was named a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, one of Book magazine's best novels of the year, and one of School Library Journal's Best Adult Books for High School Readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this second tale, we return to the story of Takeo—the young orphan taken up by the Otori Lord and now a closely held member of the Tribe—and his beloved Shirakawa Kaede, heir to the Maruyama, who must find a way to unify the domain she has inherited. In a complex social hierarchy, amid dissembling clans and fractured alliances, there is no place for passionate love. Yet Takeo and Kaede, drawing on their unusual talents and hidden strengths, find ways both to nurture their intense personal bond and to honor the best interests of their people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike its predecessor, Grass for His Pillow is a transcendent work of storytelling—epic in scope, shimmering with imagination, and graced in equal measure with rapturous writing and exhilarating action.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pan MacMillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55245072892238,"sku":"9780330415262","price":6.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0842\/6546\/8238\/files\/9780330415262.webp?v=1767867028","url":"https:\/\/littlelanebookshop.com\/products\/grass-for-his-pillow-tales-of-the-otori-book-2-lian-hearn","provider":"Little Lane Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
