Title: This review refers to the audiobook
Review: It's interesting that I tried to read this book several times, at the recommendation of friends who loved it, however I could never get into it. When I saw this audiobook, I jumped at the opportunity to try again. Having the story told to me by such an outstanding reader made all the difference in the world. I loved the vivid descriptions and the attention to detail. It's truly amazing that a male author could write such a clear picture into the geisha lifestyle with such intrigue, sensitivity and historical accuracy. It's obvious that a lot of research went into this story! I realize that I missed some parts by listening to the abridged version, but now I feel inspired to go back and read the book someday, or at least see the film, which I heard was so visually stunning! This is definitely a fine work that far exceeds all the hype surrounding it!
