Memoirs of a Geisha-Arthur Golden -part I

Getting to business right away , let me begin to tell you about the book I read recently.. e-book to be precise..
Though nothing beats the fun in having to read a book(the one with pages you can touch n feel!)..where flipping every page brings you closer to unravelling the mystery that lies behind it all ..the fun in reading the book, sitting cross-legged , sipping cold lemonade accompanied by softmusic that seems to fall in cadence.. heaven!
But still , there was something about this book that made me undergo the strain-to-my-eyes and read it as an e-book ..

I had heard about this from quite a few of them and like many a time , I wanted to read it at any cost..So I just ran a search on e-snips and well , I had it there!

Just downloaded it and started reading making up my mind to buy the book if it is worth it..not only was the reading worth it , but it made me sit in front of the comp ,not being able to wait till I get a hard copy of it..

Well , the book is all about the life of Chiyo-chan, a naive li'l girl from the little fishing village of Yoroido in the land of the rising sun, whose life changes drastically the day she meets Tanako Ichiro.She goes on to become what she had never dreamt of and probably was not aware of..
Chiyo-chan is just another little girl who does things that any girl of her age would do. Sakamoto, her father is a fisherman and they ek out a living selling fish..
Chiyo-can has a sister Satso, who seems to have a predilection for accidents and seems to somehow do things in a way that look as though it was all a complete accident.
Chiyo-chan's mother is not a very healthy woman and Chiyo-chan and Satso are left to look after the household affairs when they their mother cannot do so any longer ..

What can happen that throws Chiyo-chan onto a totally different path?
Chiyo's meet with Mr.Tanako Ichiro ,the owner of Japan Coastal Seafood company ,sees her on her way to Kyoto and what is more?she has her Satsu accompanying her..And they leave behind their father and a dead mother ..
Chiyo n Satsu under the impression that they will be adopted by Tanako set out on a journey that would not only change their lives but also pull them apart..
What is it that pulls the 2 sisters apart? Where were they heading to?What was in store for them?
You'll only have to read the next part to know it all..
