In a small village in Japan in the twelfth century, Katsuro, a famous fisherman, supplier of the sacred lakes of the imperial city with carp, the wonderful fish with the “incomparable longevity” who’s skin “reflects the sun like a polished brass”. His unexpected drowning forces his widow, the young and beautiful Miyuki to take over the delivery of carp to the palace. So she starts her long and painful journey between all sorts of dangers and pitfalls, with her shoulders bending over the weight of the yoke where the baskets hang with her fish and her love for Katsuro to support her in every hardship. The author captures the atmosphere of eternal Japan, its deep sensuality, and the complex structure of the society of the Japanese Middle Ages, in a fairy tale that is abuzz with eroticism and entraps with its charm. The book “Garden and Lakes Service” has been awarded the L’Express / BFMTV Readers Prize for 2017.
