I was thinking of @Forestofglory and a conversation we had a while back about cultural histories of the Tang. It made me remember this lesser known one.
This book is a cultural history of the city of Chang'An through the collected tales of failed examinees, women and foreigners. Also one of the books that sent me on the rabbit hole of foreigners and intercultural marriage in Tang China

#Bookstodon I need your help! I'm translating a thing with a quotation from Mick Herron's "London Rules" in it. Anyone out there got a copy in e-book format?
I just need to know what the original English is for a phrase that goes (roughly) "a nation's secret people are the guardians of its soul".
Any or all of those words may be wrong, but that's the gist. Searching for "soul" or "nation" might be the best bet to find it.

I wonder if anyone would be willing to do me a favour and read my book? It's a children's portal fantasy with a twisty/puzzly plot kind of more like the children's books of my childhood than the ones you get these days, except with diversity. And it's short, only about 30k words. Currently free on amazon (I'm plotting my escape from amazon, but it takes time).
