Memoirs Of A Geisha

I read this book a few years ago.. by Arthur Golden. It was a really interesting read.. and better than the movie. It is funny how Golden said.. that Geishas are not prostitute.. yet in his book, it protrays a story of a young Geisha .. who became a lover of her client..?? There is a mixture of truth.. and fiction it seems in this book. And to some.. they portray being a Geisha as a high class thing .. but to others.. they think not.

In Golden’s book .. Memoirs of A Geisha, it talks about a fisherman daughters.. from a little town called Yoroido. Chiyo who was sold with her sister to slavery becomes Sayuri and entertaining men she did after suffering alot of hardship. It also talks about the cruel owner and her training and the evil Granny and Mother .. who took all her earnings. It’s pretty interesting.. to read.. and if you are like me.. who loves everything japanese.. you would definitely be able to finish the story book within days.
