Dear literature lovers,
I am delighted to share the complete companion book to my unabridged audiobook of The Diary of Lady Murasaki (『紫式部日記』).
This book is designed so you can read along as you listen to the narration, or enjoy it quietly on its own—opening a window into the refined world of the Heian court.
