Two Autumns, One Spring: A Historical Novel of Japan

by Elizabeth Ann Boyles

Overview

A deceitful mother-in-law, Nagasaki's vengeful official, conflicting beliefs-all work against a near-perfect marriage in 1861 Japan.

Three months of bliss dissolve into threats of ruin. Sumi Taguchi Cardiff could lose her husband, disgrace her family, and be arrested for following Jesus, her new Liege.

John Cardiff, the first American consul in Nagasaki, never imagines his mother would try to destroy his marriage to the woman he adores.

About the Author

Elizabeth Ann Boyles delights readers with unusual stories of adventure and romance, set in the mid-nineteenth century Japan. She gained a love for the Far East when she lived in Japan in her twenties, teaching English in several universities. Much of Elizabeth Ann’s life has been spent in building relationships with her international students at a university in the Dallas area.

Although Elizabeth Ann’s great-great-uncle was the first U.S. consul to Nagasaki and her great-grandfather participated in his brother’s trading firm, she had no interest in Japan until she was given the opportunity to represent a Christian organization there. She found the Far East to be like a second home. She also met her missionary husband in Japan, and they were married in a bilingual ceremony in Tokyo.

Elizabeth Ann lives in a suburb of Dallas. She cherishes the opportunities to get together with her two grown children and her wonderful grandkids.
