Summary "The Kingdom of Slender Swords" by Hallie Erminie Rives is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the character Barbara, a young woman navigating her emotional ties to Japan, a land rich with familial history and vibrant culture. As she begins her journey, she is drawn to the beauty of the landscape, her personal connections, and the complex interactions between East and West. The opening of the novel introduces Barbara as she arrives in Japan, filled with anticipation and a sense of wonder about the country that is tied to her family's past. It captures her vivid emotional state as she experiences the beauty of the Japanese coasts and reflects on her deceased parents' history. Her excitement is punctuated by interactions with her uncle, Bishop Randolph, as they discuss her father and the significance of her upcoming visit. As they approach land, Barbara’s internal musings and the lush descriptions establish a sense of place and set the tone for her exploration of identity, connection, and the cultural depths awaiting her in this new world.
