Title: Geishas Revisited
Review: I have ordered several items from Amazon recently and your request for review does not state which one you are referring to. I assume that it is for "Memoirs of a Geisha" by Arthur Golden.We recently returned from a trip to Japan, where we heard about the lives of modern geishas and actually met one too. I was fascinated by the book and could not put it down. The cultural differences among our Countries are incredible. Imagine men bidding for the virginity of a young geisha. But don't think about them as prostitutes. There are subtle but very important differences. Rather compare them with a young woman - in our Country - who marries a 70 year old... Isn't that a "kept woman"?But there is much more to be learned than sexual habits. I strongly recommend this book. It is at least very entertaining. But also very informative.Marika Frankl
