💡Learnt A Lot🎯Worthwhile💞Loved Up🚀UnputdownableOne of my favorite books! It's a perfect combination: you enjoy the girl's story, get to know about Japanees culture and history, and reevaluate and appreciate what you have. I am glad I read it. If you are still not sure, give this story a chance. You'll like it, too.

👍Worth reading💡Learnt A Lot🚀UnputdownableEs un libro muy interesante te mete de lleno en como era la vida en japon durante la 2° guerra y sobre todo te explica sobre unos de los temas mas controversiales que tenemos en occidente ¿quienes son las geishas? El libro nos enseña que ser geisha es mucho mas que kimonos bonitos y mujeres hermosas

👍Worth reading💡Learnt A LotIt's really sad :( Sayuri deserves something better, but she act like she didn't deserve those happiness. From this book, I learn the toughness of Sayuri for enduring all kind of hardships. My, even her daily life is a battlefield, until she died.
