Book Reviews of Women of the Pleasure Quarters: The Secret History of the Geisha

Book Review: Amazing and Informative MUST Read!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Those who have blasted this book must have read a different version than I did...I found this book a great complement to "Memoirs of a Geisha". I, in fact, thought "Memoirs" mediocre in comparison to this beautiful, informative book about the history of the Geisha and the mores that exist around the "flower and willow world". If you're interested in Japanese culture, are a book club or individual who are thinking of reading, or have just read "Memoirs of a Geisha", this book is a THE place to start!!
