The novel was adapted into a 2016 film starring Lily James and Sam Riley.
Yaeko Nogami
Nogami started to explore historical fiction in the 1920s, with "Oishi Yoshio", a story about one of the Forty-seven Ronin in 1926. That same year, she and her husband translated Jane Austen's novel "Pride and Prejudice" into Japanese, which was the first translation of Austen into Japanese. Nogami liked "Pride and Prejudice" so much that in 1928 she published a novel, "Machiko", that reset "Pride and Prejudice" in Taishō era Japan, with the heroine Machiko who was inspired by Elizabeth Bennet, the hero Mr. Kawai who was based on Mr. Darcy, and the villain Seki who was based on Wickham.
