This book is one such book which held me for a long time. The story is of a small girl Chiyo struck by poverty, who is sold by her father to a popular Geisha boarding house, Okiya in Gion at Kyoto. There is something in this book which can strike the right chord. The reason could be the narrative, a gripping and beautifully paced that has the capacity to keep the reader hooked from the beginning.
