Book of Fallen Leaves

A. S. Tamaki grew up in Los Angeles, where he spent his childhood climbing trees and making short films in his backyard. After working in Hollywood for several years, he now lives in the Pacific Northwest, and when he's not writing, spends his time routesetting at local climbing gyms. The Book of Fallen Leaves is his first novel.

The Book of Fallen Leaves is the beautifully-wrought story of people shaped by their violent past careening headlong toward an even bloodier future. I loved it, and I think that readers in search of family feuds, political savagery, and complex characters on both sides of an epic, unfolding war will love it too
