Mengetahui masa depan dan mengetahui masa lampau adalah dua hal yang bermakna sama. Apa bedanya mengetahui hal yang tak terelakkan dengan mengetahui apa yang telah terjadi?Aki-no-Hashi

Sesosok wanita hadir, mengiris keheningan menara tertinggi Kastel Awan Burung Gereja. Kecantikannya memukau, kelembutannya menghanyutkan, dan keanggunannya menebarkan pesona. Tetapi, kemunculannya selalu berselubung misteri. Benarkah dia Lady Shizuka, sang putri sihir dari masa lampau? Benarkah dia penentu sejarah klan Okumichi? Dan mengapa dia juga muncul di hadapan Emily Gibson, wanita asing yang bukan keturunannya?
Samurai: Jembatan Musim Gugur menguak kelanjutan kisah hidup Genji Okumichi, sang Daimyo Akaoka dalam Samurai: Kastel Awan Burung Gereja. Kisah ini pun menyibak kekuatan cinta yang mampu menjungkirbalikkan dunia, perpaduan kekuatan ragawi dan kehalusan pekerti, dan mengedepankan ketulusan sejati dalam menyikapi takdir, meskipun akhir hidup sudah di depan mata.

As expected, I read this as a follow up to "Cloud of Sparrows", which I enjoyed very much. As a big fan of the first novel, I was eager to get into this one and learn more about the history of the Okumichi clan and the mysterious Lady Shizuka. It certainly delivered in both categories. However, "Autumn Bridge" lacks the drive that "Cloud of Sparrows" had. The latter had a great deal of action and thus a faster pace. I devoured it rather quickly. The former did not possess this. Instead, it optedA worthy sequel to Cloud of Sparrows, Autumn Bridge fills in the few big gaps left by the previous book. Though it's difficult to say what truly constitutes the present of the narrative in Autumn Bridge, we are also introduced to a slew of new characters, past, present, and future. Perhaps that's the point, though, that for each of the characters, their story is their present and as we read, so it is for us. Throughout the narrative, there is little regard for chronological storytelling and
I bought and enjoyed reading both - Cloud of Sparrows - along with this sequel to it, Autumn Bridge, one after the other. Quite good continuity within them too. As it was set roughly around one of my favoured Japanese time periods, it is also mostly the type I read (Shogun, etc). So all in all, a good thumbs up for them both . . .
I got completely sucked into this book. It has a timeline that jumps all over the place, which usually I hate but which I liked very much in this case. It's a sequel to a book I haven't read, so I might need to track it down (A Cloud of Sparrows) and read them in order.
One of the best books I've ever read. Conplex but a truly wonderful story.
3 stars because of the change in comprehension between this sequel and the first, Cloud of Sparrows.Cloud of Sparrows hints at prophecy and metaphysical abilities, but it's by and large a novel of the closing of feudal Japan, and focuses more on Japanese lifestyle during that time rather than some fictious adventure.Autumn Bridge, though, is a fiction story. And by this I mean it rather abandons the more encompassing study of Japan to focus on the prophetic-bloodline of the Okumichi clan.It
A mirror in ancient Japan where you start reading and suddenly you are surrounded by samurai, geisha, beautiful ladies and charming lords. Matsuoka has the incredible power to make his stories incredibly real, while you read youre there. You feel their pain, you live their anguish, their passion and on every page, it takes you out of reality!Id read some reviews about this book, and what emerges is a difficulty in following a logical thread, due to his jumping back and forth in time.
