"Memoirs of a Geisha is the sort of novel that novellovers yearn for which is to say, so convincing that while reading it you become transported to another time another place, and feel you're listening and seeing with someone else's ears and eyes'
--Margaret Forster
This story is a rare and utterly engagingexperience. It tells the extraordinary tale of a geisha summoning up a quarter century, from 1929 to the post-war years of Japan"s dramatic history and opening a window onto a halfhidden world of croticism and enchantment,exploitation and degradation.
