Speaking to us with the wisdom of age and in a voice at once haunting and startlingly immediate, Nitta Sayuri tells the story of her life as a geisha. In Memoirs of a Geisha, we enter a world where appearances are paramount; where a girl’s virginity is auctioned to the highest bidder; where women are trained to beguile the most powerful men; and where love, always elusive, is scorned as illusion.
For many-many years before actually read the book until finish, I believe that Memoirs of a Geisha is truly a memoar, not only a fictious novel, but written based on true story. To finally know that is not, make me like the book even more. There are aspects of the mysterious geisha life that is unveiled within this book. And it is refreshing to read pages of beautiful description and compliments toward the almost-lost culture, not only the prejudices:)
