Memoirs of a Geisha

Summoning up more than 20 years of Japan's most dramatic history, the geisha's story uncovers a hidden world of eroticism and enchantment, exploitation and degradation. It moves from a small fishing village in 1929 to the glamorous and decadent Kyoto of the 30s and on to postwar New York.

    Memoirs of a Geisha

    A brilliant and engaging book that is frequently sad, often funny, but never anything less than compelling. Golden gives us unique insight into the hidden world of the Geisha, before, during and after the Second World War. Beautiful and moving.
