A Bride's Story, Vol. 4

Beautifully-illustrated tales of young brides along the Silk Road in 19th-Century Asia

As he journeys to India, Mr. Smith is snapped out of his melancholic reverie by a tumble from his camel into a river and by the pair of identical twin girls who dive in to pull him out. Leili and Laila have reached marrying age, but their minds are more on mischief than romance. Meanwhile, back in the Eihons' village, Pariya has finally caught the interest of a suitor. But now that the moment has finally arrived, will Pariya's outspoken personality draw him in or drive him away?
