SOLVED. Novel set in feudal japan with an exiled boy - horse and boy on cover [s]

[Rachel]

I think the genre of the book was in fiction.
From what I can remember it was about a boy who was in feudal Japan. I think it had to do with him running away (in exile). The cover had him on a running horse in the snow.

Thanks!

When did you read this Rachel? And is it YA or adult?

[Sharnie]

I'm probably incorrect, but the only book I've read set in feudal Japan is Across the Nightingale Floor

[Rachel]

I don't remember exactly when I found it, maybe 2004/3?
I believe it is YA.

Dorothy and Thomas Hoobler have several books in the Samaurai Detective series. The first is The Ghost in the Tokaido Inn. I don't recall any with a horse on the cover.

There's also The Master Puppeteer by Katherine Paterson. Again, no horse on the cover, but definitely set in feudal Japan.

Is it this one? The Samurai's Tale

I have it but haven't read it however the cover sounds right...
