Book Review of Memoirs of a Geisha

Memoirs of a Geisha
Memoirs of a Geisha
Author: Arthur Golden
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback


I loved every detail of Memoirs of a Geisha. Not knowing much about Far East culture, I feel like I understand it a little more now through the book. The way the geishas were described in their clothing and gracefulness is wonderful. It was also heartbreaking to realize the girls didn't have a lot of choices once they were selected to become a geisha.
