Loved it! (  ) BobbieJR | Jan 14, 2021 |  Fantastic. So real (  ) jillSinclair | Jan 6, 2021 | Listened to audio narrated by well Bernadette Dunne. She helped transport me to another country, in another time. Nitta Sayuri is unique with her blue-gray eyes. At nine years old she is sold into slavery into a renowned geisha house. This story is about her life and transformation from poor child, to slave, to renowned Geisha, to surviving the war. First she's driven to escape, then to survive. Her life and her choices aren't always pretty but it made for an engaging story. The mysterious world of the Geisha, the beauty and the ugly and everything in between was fascinating to listen to as Bernadette Dunne's wonderful narration helped transport me into this fictional world of Geisha. If you like my reviews I hope you will follow my blog. https://wyldheartreads.wordpress.com/ ( ) wyldheartreads | Dec 14, 2020 | A great book. A beautiful book. ( ) Chica3000 | Dec 11, 2020 | Quick, enjoyable read. Historical fiction about becoming and living as a geisha in 1930s Kyoto. ( ) helenar238 | Oct 31, 2020 |
 Golden fills the book with vivid images and subtle descriptions of the nuances of Japanese culture, and is absolutely brilliant in his description of the customs and rituals of the geisha. Through the meticulous detail the reader can fully understand the politics, rivalries, and traditions of the Japan geisha society.  Mr. Golden gives us not only a richly sympathetic portrait of a woman, but also a finely observed picture of an anomalous and largely vanished world. He has made an impressive and unusual debut.  Haarhuis's foreword and Golden's epilogue, the one appropriating the guise of a novel and the other taking it off, suggest an author who is of two minds when it comes to his work. It is not surprising, then, if his readers share this uncertainty. The decision to write an autobiographically styled novel rather than a nonfiction portrait is most obviously justified in terms of empathy, of allowing greater freedom to explore the geisha's inner life. Unfortunately, Sayuri's personality seems so familiar it is almost generic; she is not so much an individual as a faultless arrangement of feminine virtues. Té l'adaptació
A fisherman's daughter in 1930s Japan rises to become a famous geisha. After training, Sayuri's virginity is sold to the highest bidder, then the school finds her a general for a patron. When he dies, she is reunited with the only man she loved. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
