There're 2 main interest a geisha and a noble man. The man perspective is very centered- what he think, why he do the thing he do. The  third person narrator doesn't seem to have much understanding or sympathy to the geisha, only describe her actions.  I only read 43 pages and I can't follow it to the detail. But stop reading because of such reason.
