i stayed up till real late to finish this book. i highly recommend this richly-cultured fiction. i don't think i want to talk much about it cos if you guys are really interested, you should read the book. it talks about how this young grey-eyed village girl, chiyo was brought to kyoto to learn to be a geisha. her lives, the different relationships she had, the betrayal and backstabbing of other geishas, the hardship of WW2, the aftermath of WW2, and eventually, how she ended up in the big apple with the man she loved dearly. there's a movie on it end of the year, but i think just like movies that are based on novels, it'd be quite a disappointment. look, the main actress, chiyo aka sayuri is zhang ziyi (a chinese). i doubt she can bring out the elegance and the cultural values a geisha possess. plus, considering the book illustrates the hard life of the japanese during the war... the time when japanese are greatly hated by the chinese. i'm not implementing that a modern japanese actress possess them, but i feel it's more appropriate.
coverpage of the book
but truthfully, zhang ziyi looks great in the show.
