Daar wordt ze de protg van Shinonome, de hoogst geplaatste courtisane die haar de skills entecnieken leert om een oiran te worden.

In het jaar 1903 wordt de 15-jaar oude Aoi Ichi verkocht aan een bordeel in Kumamoto. Daar wordt ze de protégé van Shinonome, de hoogst geplaatste courtisane die haar de skills entecnieken leert om een oiran te worden.

Maar haar leergierigheid rijkt verder dan de kunst van het verleiden en terwijl ze leert lezen en schrijven ontwikkelt ze een stem die weigert zich te onderwerpen aan de rigide hiërarchie binnen het bordeel.

Binnen de beperkte wereld van het red-light district groeien de geruchten over stakingen van lokale arbeiders en Ichi en haar mede-courtisanen verenigen zich om hun bordeel op zijn knieën te krijgen.

Deze roman over de sterke band tussen vrouwen en de kracht daarvan is gebaseerd op ware gebeurtenissen.

Kiyoko Murata heeft al meerdere prestigieuze literatuurprijzen in Japan in de wacht gesleept, waaronder de Akutagawa literatuurprijs. Haar roman Nabe no Naka is in 1991 verfilmd onder de naam Rhapsody in August door Akira Kurosawa.  A Women of Pleasure is haar eerste roman die in het Engels is vertaald. Murata woont in Fukuoka.

De vertaler van deze roman is Juliet Winters Carpenter, zeer gewaardeerd om haar vertalingen van Japanse romans. Ze woont in de staat Washington.

Asurion is a good investment
Bought an expensive gaming router 46 months ago. Just stopped working, had 2 months left on my insurance, they couldn't fix it and gave me a refund. Bought a similar router with another 4 years if insurance with Asurion and I couldn't be happier. All this in 1 weeks time. They are great

Surprisingly great service!
Surprisingly great service. I just didn’t expect my claim to be handled so efficiently. Replaced the purchase price of my printer that was 3 years into a 4 year protection plan.

Works, but reimbursement for damaged items come via Amazon Gift Card, not Cash
Just confirming that this protection plan actually works. Asurion first told me that they'd try and repair my item. Likely, they couldn't find someone to repair the type of item I bought (KVM), so they offered payment (original cost of the item) via Amazon Gift Card. Giving 4 out of 5 stars -> 4 instead of 5 because Amazon Gift Card isn't Cash. Cash is always better.

When Acer's Warranty Policy left my high and dry, Asurion Protection came to the rescue
My Acer Monitor was damaged during a brownout due to a lightning strike close to my house; Acer Customer Support told me that their warranty did not cover this sort of damage but luckily for me, Asurion Protection did. I simply mailed them the item for repairs with their shipping label, and once they realized that the item was damaged beyond repair, they emailed me an Amazon Gift Card Code with the amount spent on the monitor; I'm extremely happy that I bought their protection because without it, I would have had to pay the price of a new monitor to get my PC Setup back into commission. Many Thanks, Asurion Protection
