Its a bit dark, but because its a biography of her early life, you can really feel the life.
Both Japanese and English versions are excellent.

It's a great book, but I think I have said before, don't pick it up if you are looking for lots of insights on the yakuza, as yakuza themselves appear in very little of the story.
If you do like noir and gangster stories I really recommend
Shinjuku Shark.
