The Geisha with the Green Eyes
About this ebook
In 1850, Japan had remained veiled from the outside world for centuries, a secretive realm that held within its heart Edo. Within Edo lay Yoshiwara — "The Floating World," a center of unbridled pleasure. Deep within this enigmatic district stood the Hidden House, a sanctuary reserved for the elite, where geisha of extraordinary talent dwelled.
Among them was Midori No Me, a woman of dual heritage — part Japanese, part foreigner. Born into captivity, she was trained from youth to devote herself to the wealthiest patrons in Japan, her innocence was auctioned at a tender age of thirteen.
