Críticas:
'Susanna Quinn is a born storyteller' -- Erin Kelly, author of The Poison Tree 'Gripping.' -- Joanne Harris, author of Chocolat 'I read Glass Geishas in one sitting, with a break for sleep. This does not usually happen. It's a terrific read.' -- Fay Weldon, author of Chalcot Crescent 'Unputdownable. I was completely absorbed. Meticulously researched, GLASS GEISHAS is a real page turner that celebrates the triumph of the human spirit, friendship and love over adversity.' -- Julia Crouch, author of Cuckoo 'A sinister and seedy tale about the dark side of Tokyo's night scene. I stayed up late to find out what happened next.' -- Natasha Solomons, author of Mr Rosenblum's List 'A gripping, thrilling insight into the world of Japanese hostess bars. A seriously skilful page turner ... don't read it on the beach unless you want sunburn.' -- Kate Harrison, author of The Secret Shopper's Revenge 'GLASS GEISHAS manages to do for Tokyo's infamous Roppongi district what Alex Garland's "The Beach" did for the Khaosan Road and Thailand.' -- Simon Toyne, author of Sanctus 'A fascinating look at the seedy underworld of Tokyo - the writing is skilful and vivid and the tension doesn't let up. Susanna Quinn is one to watch.' -- Julia Gregson, author of East of the Sun
Reseña del editor:
Every girl has her price ...To Steph, working as a bar hostess in Japan sounds too good to be true. Friends say she can earn a fortune simply by flirting with drunk businessmen, and there's no sex involved - honest. Old friends, Julia and Annabel, are earning piles of cash in Tokyo and say hostessing is perfectly safe. But once in Japan, Steph realises Julia is a shadow of her former self and Annabel has disappeared. No one cares that Annabel's gone - least of all a troubled and secretive Julia. As Steph searches for her missing friend, she is lured into gritty, glamorous Roppongi - an exotic world of sex, modern-day geishas and easy money. There she meets Mama San, a charismatic and powerful hostess club owner, who has worked in the shadowy Japanese sex industry all her life and knows everything about pleasing men. But the longer Steph stays in Tokyo's sex district, the less finding Annabel seems to matter. Steph soon realises she must discover what's happened to Annabel, or risk selling a part of herself she'll never get back.
