Readings

Across the Nightingale Floor by Lian Hearn

Search for Nightingale at www.dictionary.com:
  1. A European songbird (Luscinia megarhynchos) with reddish-brown plumage, noted for the melodious song of the male at night during the breeding season.
  2. Any of various other nocturnal songbirds of the genus Luscinia.
[from Old English nihtegale : niht, night; see night + galan, to sing; ]

An epic story, passed in an imaginay country with names and traditions similar to Japonese Samurais. The battles between clans, the feudal territories, the quests of honour and the forbidden love makes you imagine a time that is no longer ours and stick on to the story of the hero and his lover, a orphan boy and a beautiful Lady, who helds a secret that none should know.

I enjoyed greatly the book and today, after finishing its reading, went to the libary and brought the next book of this trilogy, The Tales of The Otori.

    Just some small mistakes that I found... All the same your work is improving:)
    imaginay should be imaginary ( probably just a, very normal, typing mistake);
    You donĀ“t say Japonese, but yes Japanese, someone from Japan... and, last but not the least, in the last paragraph where you say "I enjoyed greatly", you should have said "I greatly enjoyed"... Keep on the good work
