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.

Narrated by Aurelia as old woman, THE TEAHOUSE FIRE is a moving story of forbidden love in a suddenly Westernizing world.

Publisher's Note
Relocated from 1866 New York to Japan by an abusive missionary guardian, young Aurelia Bernard befriends the daughter of Kyoto's most influential tea master, who accepts her into the family in spite of disapproving conventions and instructs her about the fading tradition of the tea ceremony. A first novel. Reprint.

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)
