Description

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

Born into a lineage of famous geishas, a girl is taken to a famed Tokyo geisha house where her training to serve and entertain others begins.

 

GYANTSE, TIBET 1876

A boy is born into a small rural community. Recognised as the reincarnation of a revered Lama he is taken to live in Tibet's legendary Tashi Lhunpo Monastery.

 

SAN FRANCISCO, USA 1900

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

 

Set against a backdrop of the streets of Tokyo and within the high altitudes of Tibet, The Geisha and The Monk follows the parallel life stories of a Tokyo geisha and a Tibetan Buddhist monk, who although coming from very different backgrounds share a matching destiny, a destiny revealed 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.'
