"Captivating, minutely imagined . . . a novel that refuses to stay shut" ("Newsweek"), "Memoirs of a Geisha" is now released in a movie tie-in edition.
While this novel is popular, it's important to read 'Geisha: A Life' to get the real story from the geisha herself, as it reveals the misrepresentations in Golden's work.
