About this title

Review:

Much to enjoy – treacherous plots, possession by the spirits, cracking battle scenes, and Lian Hearn writes with a delicate attention to detail that creates an all-encompassing world around her characters. (Sunday Telegraph)

[The Harsh Cry of the Heron] builds to a climax that proves both fittingly cataclysmic and wholly satisfying. (Independent on Sunday)

An exquisite story . . . An involving adventure. (Daily Telegraph)

Gorgeously violent, complex and well-written. (The Times)

From the Publisher:

Lian Hearn is an amazing author. She can write believably and movingly about war and peace, love, poetry, politics, philosophy, nature, realism and magic and weave them all into a compelling plot of grace, compolexity and simplicity. I well remember when I first read Across the Nightigale Floor, the first of the otori books. I knew within a few pages that here was an author who had written a novel that was destined to become a classic, to be read as avidly many years from now. The Harsh Cry of Heron is the sequel to the three volumes of the Tales of the Otori. It is just as beautiful, poignant, frightening and compelling as Lian's earlier novels. Please read it. I know you'll enjoy it.
