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!! |

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. |
