I Just finished a book called Memoirs of a Geisha.It was written by Arthur Golden.It is 448 pages layout.This book is about the story follows the life of a young Japanese girl, Chiyo, as she is sold into slavery during the Great Depression. It begins in a small fishing village as the 9yearolds father sells her and her sister, Satsu, to a local businessman. Because of her unusual grey eyes, Chiyo is then sold to an okiya, a geisha house, while Satsu is sold into prostitution. It contains many Japanese terms for aspects of the geisha culture, occasionally using the Kyoto counterparts.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. This book is nice to read.I think you would impressed with this book, because Memoirs of a Geisha is a masterpiece. I was curious about what a geisha actually was. I know most 'westerners' think them to be prostitutes, but to me that didn't seem to be the whole story. While they did strive to be kept women, they were also very skilled and cultured, who for the most part entertained men with dance, music, witty conversation and seduction of wealthy patrons. A haunting tale of a hidden world that could hold an audience spellbound through many an evening in a lantern-lit teahouse.Every detail on this paper is fascinating, even arresting, while at the same time the bigger portrait--the story, the truth told, a life revealed--is spellbinding.
