"In the Time of Oharu" is a large novel, with a pdf file of 6.84 MegaBytes. It is 797 pages in an 8 1/2 inch by 11 inch format, and would easily equal a 1200-page paperback. It was a serial-novel, published in chapter installments on the internet, at more than one website. The file you download includes a preface by the author, and an appendix of characters and locations, that has also be published separately on the internet. This is an "anthropomorphic" style of novel. It is a fable set in a science-fantasy alternate version of Earth, during the 1930s. It is similar to, and different from, our world. You might visualize the main characters as a blend of human and animal forms. They think and act as historical humans might, with the occasional display of the conventions of an animal ancestry. This is the novel's style. The story is set during a crucial time in the Pacific region of this world, where many cultures are going through major transitions, and anticipating a time of war. I would like to mention that you will meet 'Oharu' in the eleventh chapter. The first 12 chapters are an introduction to some of the more grim parts of this alternate version of our world, and how bad life can be there. Yet there is hope... and action. This opening story section is very similar to novels of pulp-magazine adventure and a modern horror/thriller novels. For redundancy:
