Title: Written by a guy, what?
Review: One thing that amazes me about this book is the author's non-cliche perspective. He really fuses a non-male (not to be gender stereotypical, okay, I am) voice and gives this girl-woman such a feminine thought process. The character is a wonderful introduction to the mysterious and electrifyingly seductive world of the Geisha and her role in Japanese life. It's a fascinating read about people and how they strive to better themselves and this book is a beautifully written, rich delve into watershed landscapes, fabrics, blossoms, and love and obsession, and how a girl becomes a woman and learns the art of emotional foreplay. Of course it became a film and rarely do movies do books justice and in this case, the book is the keeper. Enjoy.
