Memoirs of a Geisha Arthur Golden "I read Memoirs of a Geisha because a friend had read it and she was it was really a good book. Memoirs of a Geisha is about a little girl who gets sold into the life of being a Geisha in Japan. She - a Geisha is kind of like an artist, a paid artist. She's supposed to know all the traditional arts, also kind of got elements that are like prostitution; and so it's following her life. It starts before World War II, and then it goes through World War II and her life in Japan as a Geisha at that time. I loved this book, Memoirs of a Geisha, because the way that it's told from this little girl's perspective, you can really kind of imagine what her world is like; and her world is so incredibly different that it's like visiting a foreign country. I think the only thing I didn't like about it was that it wasn't written by a former Geisha. It was written by a man, actually, who had interviewed Geishas and talked to them, but it was so realistic I could swear all the way through that it must have been written by a Geisha. I saw the movie, and I actually thought they did a really good job in the movie. I would give this book I think five stars out of five; I really liked it. I like reading literature that will take me far away, something that will make me feel like I'm traveling."
