Memoirs of a Geisha - Arthur Golden - dudette - 15-05-2004
What a fantastic read! I had delayed reading this book as I had the impression it would be lots of gratuitous sex, but how wrong I was. I find it hard to believe this book is a novel, and though parts of it are based in fact, the majority is fiction and I am amazed at how well the author has captured the heroine's voice.
The author has given us a peek into the lives of geishas with such perceptiveness of the quiet charm I have come to associate with the Japanese culture.
Who else has read it? What are your views?
