  Sad and dark story. By the time I finished the book I had come to the conclusion that Geishas are just exploited girls..call whatever you want but in the end it is just pitiful how the whole system work to exploit women..

  Learning so much about the cultural view of japanese people and their geishas was a real treat. The movie doesn't compare.

• Beautifully written

  The writing is so visual in this book it is very easy to "see" every detail. I read this while in Singapore on business so I really got into the asian themes.

  I went into this book expecting to be really bored with it but was pleasantly surprised. I wasn't crazy about the writing style but I really enjoyed learning more about Japan during that time period and the life of a geisha.
