This book was easily a 5 star plus read. It was highly readable, a page turner, and quite an adventure. I loved its basis in history during such a tumultuous time for China and the world. The main characters, Jinhua and Suyin, were lovable, and I felt for each of them from the very beginning. "The Courtesan" was a tale of loyalty and friendship and sacrifice. Curry's descriptions of each period of time were rich and colorful. Jinhua's story was fascinating.
