I found this link whilst browsing the internet: http://www.bookbrowse.com/reading_guides/detail/index.cfm?book_number=1075
On this website, there are nine questions, which helped me think more deeply about the book. By answering a few, I got the beginnings of a topic to write about on this blog. This website will give readers more of an insight into the book. If anyone needs assistance in answering some questions, this website will give you some food for thought.
I found this link by chance as I was looking on wikipedia and accidentally clicked the random article button and what should popup but this page...scary eh?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Across_the_Nightingale_Floor
Although this is a wikipedia link the page provides an up to date outline of the story but unfortunatly gives away the ending.
Also thanks The Big Ben for the website. It proved to be very useful in deeper thinking about the book.
I followed a few separate links to find this page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_of_the_otori
Not only does this link speak about Across the Nightingale Floor, it talks about the whole series, which includes a total of five books. It provides a map of the three countries of the Otori; a summary of the trilogy that we are studying; an in-depth analysis of all the characters to appear in all five books; information about the three clans in the series (Otori, Hidden and Tribe) plus a chronology and genealogy of the clans and characters.
Even though it's not a site in itself, this Wikipedia page on the successful series is informative and easy to understand.
