"I read this book long ago before the movie. The book was an amazing journey through this woman's life and culture. I loved it.<br/>I was disappointed in the movie but that is typical when comparing a movie to the book."

"This is one of my favorites, the story of Chiyo's transformation to a formidable geisha is just stunning."
Julie Berg
"Full of rich description without somehow ever seeming slow, Golden has painted the difficult but beautiful world of early 20th-century Geisha. I enjoyed this book more than I expected and am ready to re-watch the movie now! It’s a simple story ultimately, with small pieces of suspense - while the world is exotic, I also found it exceedingly ordinary in the end. Delicious reading."
