A Summit of Tumultuous Winds (Ink Darkly the Painted Seasons) by Winnie Khaw

Product Description
Set in a fantasy China, ASoTW is an epic fable following the lives of tragic heroes and their struggle to find meaning in life through romance and adventure. ASoTW is written in dialogue-only format (meant to be read, not performed) and features elaborate, stylized language.

Includes sections of other stories set in a quasi-historical fantastical East Asia (particularly a country inspired by ancient Korea) To the Birds Allotted the Sky and a tentatively titled To Grasp the Moon's Reflection.

In TtBAtS a lonely and alienated half-human, half-fox not-prince tries to maneuver safely through the political dangers encircling him in a world wracked with conflict while trying to discover who he is and where he belongs.

TGtMR is the overarching title for a three-part story detailing the lives of a spoiled prince, his noble banished brother, the bodyguard who protects him, and his son, and ends with the final takeover war of "Japan" (inspired by the Imjin Wars) with a forbidding suggestion of an inquisitive and hungry power coming from the West.

I mean absolutely no disrespect to the actual countries which have inspired this story, and have only used their names in order to give readers as well as myself some background to go by.

Blackbird Fly by Lise McClendon

Product Description
A house in France connects three women together -- the woman who owns the house, the woman who lives in the house, and the woman who died in the house sixty years before. Who are they? Merle Bennett inherits the house of her late husband, in a small village in the Dordogne. But when she arrives a deranged squatter won't let her inside. Who is the woman? What is her connection to Merle's husband? Secrets from the post-war period, when southwest France was crushed and left to wither by Nazi occupation, and secrets of a newer kind, occupy what should be a fine French summer for Merle. With her teenage son in tow, a sexy roofer in her kitchen, and a nasty discovery in the pissoir, there is plenty to keep her mind off her endless to-do list. A story of murder, self-discovery, and family, deep in the heart of France.

"A heartbreakingly beautiful story of love, loss, sisterhood, and the ties that bind us together," says novelist Jenny Siler.
-----
The sudden death of her husband turns Merle Bennett's life upside down. Her work for poor legal clients isn't going to pay the bills and her son is kicked out of school. The blows just keep on coming. Merle finds herself doing what she least expected, decamping to France for the summer to fix up her late husband's ancestral home. The village in southwest France should be idyllic: warm sunshine, vineyards, and walls of golden stone. Merle gets an off-the-books job as a tour guide at a local winery and evicts a squatter. But the townspeople are more than merely unfriendly. As the past unravels, colliding with modern tensions and the filthy trials of renovation, the summer takes on a dark cast, full of secrets best left buried. In her first stand-alone suspense novel, Lise McClendon reaches deep into the past to find a France untouched by the outside world of tourism and fashion. Writing in a "lyrical, often humorous style," she brings both the pain and rewards of rebirth and the rich French countryside to life.
