The secret world of a Kyoto teahouse, told by a woman who rose from servant to legend. It is the sort of book our staff argue about at lunch, which is the highest compliment we know. --Orinoco.com staff

Almost perfect, July 11, 1999
Reviewer: A reader from Ottawa, Canada
A very satisfying read. A couple of chapters drag in the middle, but the payoff is worth it.

Reviewer: A grateful dad from Topeka, KS
I bought this on a whim and ended up recommending it to everyone at work. Arthur Golding has a real gift for making you care about every page.

Wow. Just wow., August 19, 1999
Reviewer: a long-time Orinoco customer from Tulsa, OK
I was skeptical after all the hype, but it lives up to every bit of it. The last chapter alone is worth the price.

My new favorite, February 27, 1999
Reviewer: A homeschooling mom from Santa Fe, NM
I read the first page in the store, the next fifty in the parking lot and the rest that night. Highly recommended.
