Synopsis When Aurelia Caillard's missionary father dies in a fire in Japan in the mid 19th century, Aurelia is adopted by the Shin family, masters of the Japanese tea ceremony. Slowly a Sapphic undercurrent begins to envelop Aurelia and the Shin daughter Yukako, one that must become repressed during Yukako's unhappy marriage. Narrated by Aurelia as old woman, THE TEAHOUSE FIRE is a moving story of forbidden love in a suddenly Westernizing world.

Industry Reviews "[Ellis] Avery, making her debut, has created a magisterial novel that is equal parts love story, imaginative history, and bildungsroman, a story as alluring as it is powerful." (starred review) (10/30/2006)
