    In a voice both haunting and startlingly immediate, Nitta Sayuri describes her life as a geisha. Taken from her home at the age of nine, she is sold into slavery to a renowned geisha house. Witness her transformation as you enter a world where appearances are paramount, virginity is auctioned to the highest bidder, women beguile powerful men, and love is scorned as illusion.

    Beautifully written in an elegant style befitting its subject and brought to life by superb narration. I was carried along by the emotion in this captivating story. I did not want it to end.

    Story

    I thoroughly enjoyed this beautifully read book. The detective element of the plot is brilliantly drawn in the setting of Russia in 1917 and I never guessed 'who done it'. The story is made complete by the well crafted characterisation of the hero, his family and his romantic interest. A good listen!
