Memoirs of a Geisha

Memoirs of a Geisha is a fascinating romance, written by Arthur Golden. The story is set in the heart of Kyoto and it shows the traditional Japanese culture from the perspective of a Geisha. Beautifully written, this book is about how a little girl from a poor fishing village turned out to be one of the most celebrated Geisha in Japan. It is a romance about sexuality, loss of innocence, and love. It shows every detail of a woman's soul, a girl who was forced to grow up too fast and who fell in love too early in a world where a Geisha must not love anybody. By contrast, she must be an artist, above all. A Geisha must entertain others and keep her world and her feelings in secret. Through Sayuri's uncommon blue-grey eyes, you'll discover a captivating mysterious world, and you'll find yourself sailing in a sea of emotions. “Sometimes we get through adversity only by imagining what the world might be like if our dreams should ever come true.” Arthur Golden, Memoirs
