Book Reviews of Women of the Pleasure Quarters: The Secret History of the Geisha
Book Review: Note: this book is an an american edition of "Geisha"
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very good, thorough book, though I would not rate it as highly as "Geisha", by Liza Dalby.The one point I would like to make is that this book is a newer, retitled edition of Ms. Downer's "Geisha", it is NOT a new book. Nowhere on the website is this pointed out. So, if you don't have "Geisha", then buy this book. If you do, then unless you like collecting different editions of the same title, dont buy it.
