Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden

4.0

I liked this story even though it's not a true or accurate account of the life of a geisha as the translators note led me to believe. I started getting suspicious when things were just too perfectly wrong or right-if that makes sense.

I watched the movie afterwards and thought it was truly a missed opportunity. The movie could've been so much better. If you hadn't read the book, nothing would really make sense without the detailed backstory that the book gives you.
