Review:
"The tea ceremony becomes a tiny stage on which grand passions are enacted... Avery captures all this with the emotional poise befitting her characters, and great sensual pleasure. Her novel is a rather beautiful thing: all the more so for emulating the values of another world" (Financial Times)
"Should appeal to fans of Kazuo Ishiguro's Remains of the Day" (Scotland on Sunday)
"In Ellis Avery's The Teahouse Fire, aesthetic rules vie with politics, sex and human feeling. Avery has whipped up a heady brew of sex and human feeling" (Liza Dalby, author of The Tale of Murasaki, Geisha and Kimono)
"Vivid and engrossing... Although this is a historical novel as well as a coming-of-age book, the depth of Avery's exploration of her period and her characters lets her soar above the limitations of both genres...[it is] a novel that, like the tea ceremony itself, provides true pleasure to the intellect and all the senses" (Los Angeles Times)
"Avery's writing is saturated with color and detail; she manages to make 19th-century Japan both accessible and exotic" (Boston Globe)

Original, impeccably written and incredibly moving, The Teahouse Fire is a wonderful debut novel in the vein of Memoirs of a Geisha.
