    About this ebook

    THE GEISHA AND THE MONK a novel by JULIAN BOUND

     

    Two souls born thousands of miles apart, each shall follow a similar path

     

    KYOTO, JAPAN 1876: a girl is born into a lineage of famous geishas. Following her upbringing and training within a Tokyo geisha house her true identity is at last revealed.

     

    GYANTSE, TIBET 1876: a boy is born into a small farming community. Recognised to be the reincarnation of a revered Lama he is taken to Shigatse's Tashi Lhunpo Monastery, it is there his unique destiny is unveiled.

     

    SAN FRANCISCO, USA 1900

    At the dawning of a new century fate brings them together, a lifetime away from all they have ever known.

     

    With their stories running in parallel, 'The Geisha and The Monk' tells of the training of a Tokyo geisha and a Tibetan Buddhist monk. Although coming from different backgrounds both share a matching destiny, one discovered when meeting on the shores of San Francisco's harbour front.

     

    'Eventually, two souls destined to meet shall do so, their connection instantly recognised within the eyes of the other.'
