My mother hates Yaoi, but she loved this book so much she went back to reading up everything Greek we had.
This book is much more than Yaoi. That's why it's won such a prestigious, mainstream award - it's not one of those smutty pulpy B-grade niche romance novels. It's about heroism - heroism with a heart, where kindness and love is applauded as much as excellence in battle and violence.
Oh gosh, I saw this and now I really want to read this book! I adore that whole time period this book is supposed to be set in, and plus its really hard to find good yaoi/shounen-ai books getting exposure like this. The only downer is that I have absolutely no idea where to look for it, it's really hard to find anything even remotely shounen-ai in any bookstore in my country :s
Well It's a Bloomsbury book, and Penguin is a distributor - so it's not one of those shady yaoi books. You should be able to get it easily enough, therefore. Try buying it online?
