Book Description
Step into a mesmerizing world where history, romance, and resilience collide in The Geisha with the Green Eyes. 1850 Japan is a land shrouded in mystery, sealed from the outside world for centuries. At its heart lies Edo, home to Yoshiwara—The Floating World—a district of forbidden pleasures and exquisite artistry. Hidden within its labyrinth is the exclusive Hidden House, where only the most skilled and sought-after geisha are trained to serve Japan’s elite. Among them is Midori No Me, a woman who stands apart. With her striking green eyes and heritage that bridges two worlds, Midori was born into captivity and groomed from childhood to entertain the wealthiest patrons. At thirteen, her innocence was sold to the highest bidder, a famed kabuki actor. Yet destiny wove a darker path, delivering her into the clutches of Edo's most feared yakuza. But Midori is more than a prized possession. She is a survivor. This is the story of a geisha who dared to escape the intoxicating splendor and unrelenting cruelty of Yoshiwara—a journey through betrayal, resilience, and the search for freedom. For readers of Amy Tan’s The Valley of Amazement and Arthur Golden’s Memoirs of a Geisha, India Millar’s The Geisha with the Green Eyes weaves a tale of sensuality, strength, and unforgettable beauty. Embark on a journey through a mesmerizing historical romance unlike any other.
