Description

Flowers by Night is set in Edo, a city that thrived despite frequent natural disasters. Here, unconventional lives flourished, and same-sex love was accepted among men married to women. Uchida Tomonosuke, a low-ranking samurai, has never pledged himself to another man - until he meets Ichi, a beautiful blind masseur who challenges everything he thought he knew about love between men. Ichi is a member of the Todoza, a guild of blind men trained in massage and music. Despite their independence and self-sufficiency, they face significant social barriers. For Tomonosuke and Ichi to be together, they must navigate class lines, his unhappy wife, and the challenges of surviving earthquakes, fires, and famine. This novel presents a realistic and deeply moving view of samurai, geisha, Japanese culture, and disability, set against a backdrop of a society where androgyny is celebrated. It's a steamy and explicit gay love story that bends the m-m romance genre.
