As I read around the web I came across "
kabuki". I am sure I read a book by that title, but have googled it and came up empty, except if it is
An Imperial Concubine's Tale by
Gale Rowley, which was published in December 2012. From
the review, it might well be, but my memory is shot. Ah, I'll just have to read it again then...'Want to
dubstep to that? Be sure to brush up on your tie knotting skills!
