A historical novel that details the journey of Eshinni from the Imperial Courts to becoming the wife of Shinran Shonin.
Although The Monk's Wife is a novel set in thirtheenth century Japan, the feelings, the desires, the jealousy, the envy, the joy and love experienced by Eshinni in her marriage to the Buddhist monk Shinran are no different from those emotions experienced by women of the twenty-first century, east or west.
