Coup de coeur
(Manga), by Anthony
Ever wished you could step into another world, drape yourself in silk and embroidery, ride wind?swept steppes under a wide sky, taste the unfamiliar spice of a new life? Its the story of Amir, crossing mountain passes to marry Karluk in a distant nomadic clan. From their first meeting, the world around them feels dazzling: textiles, turquoise skies, family gatherings warm as hearths. Each page is immersive enough to feel like stepping into history itself.
Acclaimed creator Kaoru Mori (Emma, Shirley) brings the nineteenth-century Silk Road to lavish life, chronicling the story of Amir Halgal, a young woman from a nomadic tribe betrothed to a twelve-year-old boy eight years her junior. Coping with cultural differences, blossoming feelings for her new husband, and expectations from both her adoptive and birth families, Amir strives to find her role as she settles into a new life and a new home in a society quick to define that role for her.
