My friend Sarah gave me Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden. It was going to be my vacation reading and I almost got through it. But I did finish it the other day.
It is a great book – very well written and incredibly engaging. I was enthralled. Brilliant historical depiction of a place that I know so little about. Golden follows the struggle and joys of one woman through her life. The character creation and description of the towns draw the reader into Sayuri’s world.
It will be interesting to see what happens with the movie – released this December.
