Kaoru Mori (Emma, Shirley) lavishly recreates the nineteenth-century Silk Road, following Amir Halgal, a young woman from a nomadic tribe who is betrothed to a twelve-year-old boy eight years her junior. Coping with cultural differences, budding affections for her new husband, and expectations from both her adopted and biological families, Amir seeks to define her role as she settles into a new life and a new home in a society that is eager to define that role for her.

Note to self: this is fantastic so far! You’re going to love it, probably over a month or two. Amazing art, compelling story, historical fiction immersed in a real culture. 13/10 will read more than once.
Everyone talk about Indian, but i found this more about Mongolia, or central-west asia.
