    I could not put this book down, I mean almost literally I read strait through it! I have no idea why I let this book sit on my shelf for so long but now I am just grateful that I read it. Beautifully written, the characters are so well crafted that I loved even the ones I hated. It was one of those books that had me wishing it was longer so the story wouldn't have to end.

  • better than the movie (aren't they always :)

  • At first I thought this was a true story and I have to admit, when I found out it was fiction I was a bit disappointed. Nevertheless, I love this book because it's unlike any other book I've ever read. I learned about Japanese culture and I gained a respect for geisha.

  • Sad and dark story. By the time I finished the book I had come to the conclusion that Geishas are just exploited girls..call whatever you want but in the end it is just pitiful how the whole system work to exploit women..

Una sensación literaria y bestseller internacional presenta con perfecta autenticidad y exquisito lirismo las fieles confesiones de una de las geishas más famosas de Japón.
 
En Memorias de una geisha entramos a un mundo donde las apariencias son de suma importancia; donde la virginidad de una niña es subastada al mejor postor; donde las mujeres son entrenadas para seducir a los hombres más poderosos; y donde el amor es desdeñado como una mera ilusión. Es una obra de ficción única y triunfal– al mismo tiempo romántica, erótica y de suspenso –absolutamente inolvidable.
