In 1861 French silkworm merchant Herve Joncour travels to Japan,
where he encounters the mysterious Hara Kei. He develops a painful
longing for Kei's beautiful concubine - but they cannot touch; they
don't even speak. And he cannot read the note she sends him until
he has returned to his own country. But the moment he does, Joncour
is enslaved. Subtle, tender and surprising, Silk is an evocative
tale of erotic possession.
