<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Set in 1861, this startling, sensual, hypnotically compelling novel tells a story of adventure, sexual enthrallment, and a love so powerful that it unhinges a mans life.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The year is 1861. Hervé Joncour is a French merchant of silkworms, who combs the known world for their gemlike eggs. Then circumstances compel him to travel farther, beyond the edge of the known, to a country legendary for the quality of its silk and its hostility to foreigners: Japan.There Joncour meets a woman. They do not touch; they do not even speak. And he cannot read the note she sends him until he has returned to his own country. But in the moment he does, Joncour is possessed.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Silk has the brilliant colors . . . and the enchantment of a miniature. . . . Vividly erotic." --<i>Newsday</i>"A riveting, lyrical love story, an accomplished historical fiction, a compact, condensed . . . epic about human hearts in crisis." --Alan Cheuse, <i>All Things Considered</i>"A book with language to savor. . . . It seems as guileless as a folk tale but propels a reader with real force." --<i>Denver Post</i>"A heart-breaking love story. . . A stylistic tour de force [and] a literary gem of bewitching power." --<i>The Sunday Times</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Alessandro Baricco was born in Turin in 1958. He is the author of two previous novels, <b>Castelli di rabbia</b>, which won the Prix Médicis in France and the Selezione Campiello prize in Italy, and <b>Ocean-Sea</b>, which won the Viareggio and Palazzo del Bosco prizes.
