Ronald Grenier "The Sacred Tree: Being the Second Part of 'The Tale of Genji'" by Lady Murasaki is a classic novel written in the early 11th century. This work is a continuation of the renowned "The Tale of Genji," which chronicles the life and loves of Prince Genji, a nobleman in Heian-era Japan. The narrative delves into the intricate relationships, emotional struggles, and the societal norms of the time through its complex characters, with a particular focus on Genji's romantic entanglements. At the start of this second volume, the story revolves around Lady Rokujō, who is filled with despair as the imminent departure of her daughter looms. Struggling with her feelings for Genji after a long and painful estrangement, she contemplates the emotional turmoil that their relationship has caused her. Meanwhile, Genji, moved by the beauty of the autumn landscape, embarks on a journey to reconnect with Rokujō, reflecting on the passage of time and his lingering attachment. Their poignant meeting from behind the screen-of-state sparks renewed feelings, yet simultaneously highlights the challenges posed by their past and the societal expectations they must navigate.
