I just finished reading Memoirs of A Geisha this morning.
It was absolutely beautiful. I adored it. The writing was fluid and expressive, the story was wonderful and the insight in to the secret life of a popular Geisha in the 1940's 50's and 60's was amazing.
I highly recommend it to anyone who loves beautiful stories and has an interest in other cultures.
Now I am going to rent the movie, which I hear lives up to the literary counterpart.
I also have a book on hold at the library written by the Geisha that was interviewed for the book.
