My personal choice is 'Memoirs of a Geisha' (which has been out a couple of years) - not a book i would normally have chosen but recommended by a friend which i thought was a stunning read.The thread running through the story is the love Chiyo (a young Japanese girl) has for an important man, and the influence he has on her life. He eventually becomes her 'danna' (sort of protector, etc). The book explains the culture of the Geishas which is not as cut and dried as the Western world perceives. It's a history lesson and touching romance, without any hint of sentimentality. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?
