I know it does not sound as if it would be, BUT this is a wonderful book.
Back when I first saw this title I was hesitant, almost bought it, didn't, almost bought it again, and then a friend came to me saying, "I know this does not seem like the type of book we usually read, but I loved it!" I took it from her and devoured it in two nights. A week or so later my cousin called. She said, "I just read this wonderful book! I know the title sounds like something you might not be interested in but . . ." Yes, it was 'Memoirs of a Geisha'.
This is the story of a fisherman's daughter and her long journey to becoming a Geisha. It is also the story of Japan, before, during and after WWII. There is suspense, romance and heartbreak.
Don't hesitate. Read it. This is a great story, well written and historically informative. I am so happy I read Memoirs of a Geisha. It is now on the list of my all time favorite reads.
This is the only book written by the author that I could find. Disappointed . . .
