The Eighth Bureau would not accept anything that involved creative descriptions of the huestions of revolution that were not permitted by the emperor However, it didn’t matter orld you lived in; the subjects of sex, violence and politics were bound to be hot topics, so it was inevitable that underground booksellers would surface

Normally, the booksellers wouldn’t dare sell books about politics, but romance novels like ‘”Of Joy and Passion” were h the hands ofan owner

There was no doubt that a ed woman with a child in her arms as the last in the chain of recipients of the book
