If you can handle some darkness, gore, and a lot of weird, then you absolutely must read this book! It is fantastic and unique and the writing is spectacular. You don't need to know what it's about going in, just read it! But if you need to know, here's the setup..... Lee has fled an act of violence in his American college top return to his father's house in Japan. One night he looks through his window and sees a young woman in samarui attire. This is Sen, a samarui in training and she is even more shocked than Lee when she sees a foreigner looking out from her bedroom window. Connected by this magical house through time, the two form an alliance and escape from the horror of their lives. But it's actually a lot more word than that. You won't know what is real and you'll never guys what's coming.
