An historical novel about the wife of Japanese Buddhist sage, Shinran Shonin (1173-1263) , who is considered the founder of Shin Buddhism (Jodo Shinshu). It is extremely well written, vivid, flowing, and is an impassioned and realistic account with full details that present life in Shinran's time and what it must have been like her to encounter Shinran and the teachings of Honen, who taught the Nembutsu-only school. Shinran's bold decision to marry Eshinni, a royal consort, which among other factors eventually brought Imperial wrath upon them and Honen's entire following. Shinran and Eshinni was exiled to northern Japan and learned to endure the harsh winter. This is a spiritual novel, telling in down-to-earth fashion the simple doctrine of the Nembutsu, which is salvation through the Buddha of Infinite Light and Life (Amida Buddha).
