Acclaimed creator Kaoru Mori (Emma, Shirley) brings the nineteenth-century Silk Road to lavish life, chronicling the story of Amir Halgal, a young woman from a nomadic tribe betrothed to a twelve-year-old boy eight years her junior. Coping with cultural differences, blossoming feelings for her new husband, and expectations from both her adoptive and birth families, Amir strives to find her role as she settles into a new life and a new home in a society quick to define that role for her.
La vie d'Amir, 20 ans, est bouleversé le jour où elle est envoyée dans le clan voisin pour y être mariée. Elle y rencontre Karluk, son futur époux... un garçon de huit ans son cadet ! Autre village, autre mœurs... La jeune fille, chasseuse accomplie, découvre une existence différente, entre l'aïeule acariâtre, une ribambelle d'enfants et Smith, l'explorateur anglais venu étudier leurs traditions. Mais avant même que le jeune couple ait eu le temps de se faire à sa nouvelle vie, le couperet tombe : pour conclure une alliance plus avantageuse avec un puissant voisin, le clan d'Amir décide de récupérer la jeune femme coûte que coûte...

Avec pour toile de fond la route de la Soie, elle nous livre une fresque épique, humaine et tendre à la fois dont on ressort ému, mais le cœur gonflé d'énergie.
