    <![CDATA[The tragic true story of Japan's Crown Princess-with a new afterword by the author.<br/><br/>It's the fantasy of many young women: marry a handsome prince, move into a luxurious palace, and live happily ever after. But that's not how it turned out for Masako Owada. Ben Hills's fascinating portrait of Princess Masako and the Chrysanthemum Throne draws on research in Tokyo and rural Japan, at Oxford and Harvard, and from more than sixty interviews with Japanese, American, British, and Australian sources-many of whom have never spoken publicly before-shedding light on the royal family's darkest secrets, secrets that can never be openly discussed in Japan because of the reverence in which the emperor and his family are held. But most of all, this is a story about a love affair that went tragically wrong.]]>

    <![CDATA[Inilah impian kebanyakan kaum Hawa: menikahi seorang pangeran tampan, pindah ke istana megah, dan hidup bahagia selamanya. Tetapi, bukan seperti itu yang terjadi pada Masako Owada, seorang perempuan sangat modern yang bertubrukan dengan sebuah sistem kuno.<br/><br/>Menelisik diam-diam dunia keluarga Kekaisaran Jepang yang misterius, buku ini menguraikan tekanan yang dilakukan Pengurus Rumah Tangga Istana Kekaisaran Jepang terhadap Putri Masako karena tak bisa menghasilkan keturunan lelaki guna menjaga dinasti kekaisaran tertua di dunia dari kepunahan. Karya ini juga mengungkapkan dampak lahirnya anak lelaki dari rahim Putri Kiko, saudara ipar Putri Masako, pada kehidupan Masako yang sudah penuh masalah dan pada harapan yang mungkin dia bangun bagi putrinya, Aiko kecil, untuk menjadi kaisar perempuan Jepang.<br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[A brilliant woman sacrifices her career to marry a love-struck prince. Inevitably, the fairy-story turns to tragedy when Masako Owada is unable to adjust to the pressures of living in Japan's ancient imperial court. It was feared that the royal dynasty, the world's oldest with a 2600-year-history, would die out if Masako and Crown Prince Naruhito could not bear a boy - but after 13 years of marriage, both are now in their 40s and have only a daughter, little Aiko, born with the help of IVF. Even the birth this year of a new son and heir to her sister-in-law Princess Kiko has done little to relieve Masako's stress - and has only postponed for a generation the vexed issue of changing the law to allow a woman to inherit the throne.<br/>Great gift in the Holiday season!]]>
