Description
Riko's life has been soured by infidelity in her marriage. One day, she runs into an old friend who offers friendship and love, leading to an unusual escape: learning to live inside her dreams. Each night, Riko experiences different lives - as a high-ranking courtesan in 17th century Japan and later as a serving lady to a princess in late medieval Europe. As she navigates desire and heartbreak in these past lives, Riko begins to reconsider her life as a 21st-century woman, wife, mother, and lover. She must ask herself if she's ready for her third great love, after loving her husband and an old friend who offers companionship and escape. This novel explores themes of love, identity, and the power of imagination, inviting readers to reflect on their own lives and desires.
