Title: 90-day geisha
First published: 2008
Description: "Millionaires, surgeons, serial killers, CEOs: 'What are your hobbies?' Step into the surreal world of a Tokyo hostess club and gain an exclusive, underground pass through the eyes of author Chelsea Brennan as she attempts to understand a way of life unique to the Japanese, all the while experiencing six-hundred dollar dinners, kabuki theatre, Harajuku shopping sprees, and first-class trips to 'Anywhere you want to go...' Set against the structured insanity of a paradoxical city, 90 Day Geisha is a groundbreaking insight into a subculture spawned from the traditional institution of the geisha that is at once comically hilarious and seriously compelling. While vividly revealing the precarious line between fantasy and reality, this is a fascinating true story propelled by a young woman's unexpected struggle to maintain both sanity and her marital sanctity in the face of material excess and universal temptation."--Provided by publisher.
