This book is the most amazing journey. Prepare to cry, laugh, gasp, and LEARN. (  ) jackpotmedia | Dec 21, 2022 |  430-1 gutierrezmonge | Nov 25, 2022 | Fictional “memoir” of Sayuri, a geisha in Kyoto, Japan, from before the Great Depression to after WWII. It is told as if Sayuri is relating her life story to a translator. It starts in early childhood when she is sold into servitude and covers her education in the ways of the geisha. This is a story of triumph over adversity. In an era that disempowered women, Sayuri endures many hardships, and tries to make the best of a situation over which she has little control. It is about rivalry and unrequited love. I found it easy to get drawn into the story. The writing is lovely – it evokes a sense of time and place. I especially enjoyed the depiction of Japanese culture, rituals, and traditions of the era. The book was published in 1997 and was turned into a film in 2005. (  ) Castlelass | Oct 30, 2022 | novel, fiction, poached kencf0618 | Oct 20, 2022 | One of my favorite books of all time. What amazes me the most is that this is written by a male; you could never tell. As someone who lived in Japan for several years, I can come to appreciate the lifestyle and training of a Geisha. Gion Corner is a must visit for anyone travelling to Japan. The Geishas are so kawaii! ( ) Courtney_Duran | Oct 12, 2022 |
 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.
