Review:
"This is a tenderly moving, expertly told love-story of events beginning over a century ago but not brought to light until 1982. Of all the Madame Butterfly tales, it ranges furthest, its ripples continuing when one has finished reading it" (Guardian)
"The love story between a British Army Officer and a young Japanese woman that remained a secret to the word until their letters were found is more astonishing than the opera it mirrors" (Express)
"A powerful and remarkable love story" (London Evening Standard)
"Falling Blossom is a meticulous and entrancing work...touching, revealing and erudite" (Independent on Sunday)
"Seductive and intriguing story, told with sympathy and insight" (TLS)
