About

Get your kimono... and your tissues ready, as very few stories are as heartbreaking as Cio-Cio-San’s, the fifteen-year-old geisha who (wishing to redeem herself from a life of misery), accepts a sham marriage to Lieutenant Pinkerton, falls in love with him (while he only sees her as a diversion), and would give up anything to stay true to her commitment.
