Contes Bambara Du Mali Book

Lady Sarashina was not as accomplished (or cool) as Sei Shonagon or Lady Murasaki, nor was her life as exciting, but she did leave us some accounts of traveling in Ancient Japan, from one home place to another, and some shrine visits. One can read in her story also how daydreaming - or how we act in certain situations - can sometimes let us miss chances in life that could've made a clear difference. But perhaps the way her life went was the best for her. Nonethless, this makes an easy reading and one could ponder on how she and the other two ladies are different in life and in character... and also compare their personal writings to see the difference.
Maybe not the first to read of the three (Sarashina, Shonagon and Murasaki), but definitely worth it.
