  • 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.
