Ha! Ha! I thought this book was on the 1000 Books to Read List. But it is NOT! Why was it in my tagged group of audiobooks for 1000 Books? Oh well.
That said, this book is often on lists of books to read and is very well-written. I am goal-oriented and have been on this quest since May 2019. I don't know if I will ever get to all 1000 books, but my intermediate goal this year is to get to the top of the List Challenge List, and this book will not get me there. Again, oh well.
I am also so tired of reading books where women are abused by vile people. Why does AI say that Geishas are not prostitutes? Maybe they are not now (outlawed in 1956), but they were during the time this was written, and it was heartbreaking to see the abuse. They were high-class prostitutes taken advantage of by rich and powerful people. It broke my heart in places.
