This book, much to Ameya's disgust, accompanied me on my journey. I picked it up without much thought, just as something to scan through during the flight. Unfortunately for Ameya, I was literally hooked on to it! It's not that the book is a classic, but it can surely touch you. In spite of the grammatical errors and poor language, the author does manage a decent job. He opens up a Geisha's world for you and gives you a totally different picture of Japan. It's the story of a very successful Geisha and how she pines for man she loves, but never gets him! The author decribes the details beautifully and you start expecting a good story from him. But of course, it gets boring along the way, and at the end, depresses you even more. The book has many sad undertones to it but in the end, it does give you an insight in the lives of those unfortunate girls. Verdict: Don't bother reading..theres a movie releasing soon anyway!
