Title: Breathtaking... a joy to read!
Review: I had two friends recommend this book to me, and I finally sat down to read it. What an amazing story! The author does a wonderful job of drawing you into this woman's life, learning about the world of the geisha as she herself does.My only complaint (and I'm sure it's one other people have)... I wanted more! I sat and read the last 200 pages in one sitting and I really wished there had been more to the story... I mean, it seems like we learn SO much about Chiyo/Sayuri's life, and when the book reaches a certain plot point (I won't spoil it for others who haven't read it), you are pretty much left with a quick summary for the rest of the book... I wanted the story to keep going!Having said that, I highly recommend this book... it's fascinating, celebratory, heartbreaking and a joy to read. I almost cried at the end.
