I'm afraid I have to offer one correction, since you're obviously going to a great deal of effort to get your historical references and names acccurate. You describe Ba Li Nu as wearing a "kimono", however, kimono are strictly Japanese, and Ba Li Nu is a Chinese name. Given the long-seated prejudgices and tensions between the Chinese and the Japanese, even today intermarriage is almost unheard of. The traditional garment of a Chinese woman would be a cheongsam. Kimono in Japanese literally means "thing to wear" and has a HUGE amount of cultural significance. You can actually infer details about season of the year, marital status, relative age of the intended wearer, and formality of the situation it was intended for simply by looking at details on a kimono. The most formal kimono even have family crests printed on them.
Sequel to "The Journey Home." Ginny has finally come to terms with her grief, but much of her life remains in turmoil as a new mystery beckons her back to the one place she doesn't want to be, in an effort to free her lover from his family's past mistakes.Category: Works in Progress
Nice start! Ties in the previous story very well, and the piece about Fred was wonderfully written. Adding this to my list of tracked stories so I can keep up with it!
Author's Response: Thank you! Glad you liked. I really wondered if the section on Fred was fitting or not but, since Ginny's entire journey was tied around that, I felt it needed an emotional conclusion, and it sort of echoes my own dealings with grief. Thanks for letting me know.
Hugs
