This book didn't have as much to do with a courtesan as you might think. The idea for the story is good, but I found the whole thing choppy and a bit hard to follow at times, though it did have its good moments. Not bad, not great.

I really enjoyed this book--couldn't put it down, actually! Interesting, well-written story. The only thing you have to be careful of is paying attention to the dates on the journal entries because sometimes it skips months or even years, which threw me off a couple times. A very good read!

I really enjoyed the first 3/4 or so of this book, but it took a bizarre twist toward the end which almost ruined the whole thing for me. However, I still recommend it to anyone who enjoys historical fiction and doesn't mind a little raciness.
