Alyce (USA: MO) (2007/02/27): Very interesting book on another culture. This is the real life person who the book "Memoirs of a Geisha" was based on. In fact, she describs being interviewed by the author of that book and her thoughts about him. If you saw the movie "Memoirs of a Geisha", read this book for the real story. The story is so interesting I could not put the book down. Aicha (Philippines) (2008/12/17): I love this memoir! It's a great read for those who like to read about culture and tradition of the geisha. The prose is also flowing, graceful but not overly so. It has a crisp edge to it.
I usually recommend this read for those enthralled with other countries' culture.
