To Be Read 

Journal Entry 2 by FiBe from Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire United Kingdom on Thursday, April 13, 2006

Oops forgot I hadn't made a journal entry for this. Really enjoyed this book. I decided to buy it after reading Memoirs of a Geisha and it didn't disappoint. If you enjoyed Memoirs you will love this too.

I'm going to loan this to my mother, librarygold. 

Journal Entry 6 by librarygold from St. Albert, Alberta Canada on Sunday, October 08, 2006

This was a very interesting read. I doesn't have a compelling plot but gives a lot of information, in story form, about the Japanese geisha world.

I had loaned this to my mother who returned it to me during a family get together for Thanksgiving.

I hadn't planned to read it yet, but my other book wasn't grabbing me.

This was certainly interesting and much toned down from Memoirs of a Geisha. I can see why she felt the need to show her view. My mother and I recently went to an exhibit at our museum of kimonos. They are stunning.

Arrived safely in the post yesterday. Thanks very much! 

Journal Entry 10 by FabClaire from Malvern, Worcestershire United Kingdom on Monday, March 22, 2010

Finally got around to reading this after it had sat on my shelf for a few years.

I enjoyed this. It was a pleasant contrast to the sensationalism of Memoirs of a Geisha, probably because it's truth rather than fiction. I would like to know how someone can survive for so long on only a few hours of sleep each night though!

Journal Entry 12 by Caroley from Birmingham, West Midlands United Kingdom on Friday, March 26, 2010

Arrived safely today.

Thanks very much for spotting this was on my wishlist, and for sending it to me. I'm looking forward to reading it :-) 

Journal Entry 13 by Caroley at Birmingham, West Midlands United Kingdom on Thursday, July 22, 2010

I really enjoyed this. I found it to be so much better than Memoirs of a Geisha, and I did love that book too. I don't read a great deal of non-fiction but I felt I wanted to know the truth behind the fiction.
This is just one person's truth, but I think it showed how much Memoirs was embellished for the sake of making a good story. I think the truth is probably more interesting.
