	I also liked the book and thought it was better than the film, however saying that, I think the film was lovely to see the costumes and how they were dressed. Japanese girls are so slim and gentile don't you think?? Barbara xx

	What a weird coincidence...I've just added to Rosalyn's thread about reading books again - and mentioned that I'd love to re-read The Far Pavilions. Now I've come back to this thread and The Far Pavilions has been mentioned more than once!! Spooky!!!! K

	I read it a while back and thought it very good - bettr than the film. I'm now re-reading "The Far Pavilions" by MM Kaye and, like "Geisha", it's about self sacrifice and honour - concepts which none of us, me included, seems to know too much about these days!!

Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 4,835 Send Message	Oh yes I did and enjoyed every minute of it... I love to read about the different cultures and ways of life that is unknown to us... I do so with an open mind as not everyone accepts or tries to understand different cultures no matter how primitive they are... Lindy ;)))))))))))))))))))))
