I thought the story explained Murasaki Shikibu's life very well. The problems in her life -such as not having a husband anymore-sounded tragic, but somehow she managed to get past it,which shows she is a very brave woman. If i had the chance, I would love to read Murasaki's stories,such as "The Tale of Genji",which-in the story- is told to be one of the best series she has ever written.

Hidden Flower is about a woman named, Murasaki Shikibu. This story tells the true legend about a Japanese writer who came to be. It starts off with Murasaki learning how to write Chinese and putting it Into poetry. But that's not all she was capable of, she also wrote stories, like her most popular story "The Tale of Genji ", which Murasaki's husband,Fujiwara Nobutaka-a high ranking court official inspired her to write after his death,which was one year after Murasaki's daugter, Katako, was born. Because of her most popular story she led a happy life for her and her daughter.
