Memoirs of a Geisha

Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden

Golden crafts an eloquent story following the life of Sayuri. Her life journey leads her to train as a geisha. She gives her recollection of her past,  growing up in the early 1900’s. This time in Japanese cultural was driven by wealthy and powerful men. The life of the geisha was one of service and obedience. How does a woman accept this fate? I was deeply moved by the idea.

I found this to be honest, touching and unique. I highly recommend it!
