This is just to note that I am continuing my survey of 1910s fiction at my own website, because I'm more and more disinclined to donate my intellectual labor to Amazon. Thanks for reading.

DNF'd after the first three chapters. I expected something different. I still want to read this, but not now.

Nice to read from a male patron perspective. Doesn't have much character development. But it is true to the politics and scheming of the pleasure quarters.

Published in 1918, this story is almost indistinguishable from Geisha tales written today, except that this one is extremely well-written, sensual, and truly, passionately heart-breaking.
