Description of Geisha with the Green Eyes by India Millar
By 1850, Japan had been closed to the outside world for centuries. It was a secret, hidden world. And deep within Edo was Yoshiwara − The Floating World. The center of pleasure. Within Yoshiwara was the Hidden House. A place that only the very wealthy could afford to visit. The place where the geisha were… special.
And in the Hidden House lived Midori No Me. Half Japanese, half foreign Barbarian, born in captivity. She was trained to dedicate her life to serving the wealthiest men in Japan. Defiled at thirteen when her virginity was sold to the highest bidder. Possessed by the greatest actor in the Kabuki theater. Stolen by the most powerful Yakuza in Edo.
The geisha who escaped from the Floating World.

This sounds fabulous. I had to come see after catching the title. And there’s a giveaway. Thanks for sharing, Teddy!
I wish the description “half foreign barbarian” were contextualized; specifically it seems to me very plausible that this phrase is chosen to describe how the character was seen in the cultural context in which the story is set. However, I find it disturbing that it’s unclear whether the author/publicist, etc. is endorsing such a description. Nevertheless I don’t doubt this would make for a very enjoyable read. FYI, I am not entering this giveaway. Cheers, Kara S
