Last week I read Memoirs of a Geisha,normally I don't read books like The Memoirs of Geisha but after I read The Help I decided to be more open for adult type of novels so every one or two month I will probably read a more adult type of books.Anyway The book was written by Arthur Golden and it was published in 1997,it receive many positive reviews.
The good
.Beautifully written
.It has a great cover
.Pumpkin is totally hilarious
The bad
.As the ending came nearer the story felt weaker
Quick Summary
Chiyo is a girl who lives in the village of Yoroido with her parents and her sister Satsu.When her mother became sick her father sold Chiyo and Satsu so that they may have a more happy life since they couldn't afford anything.Chiyo was sold to the Okiya but Satsu was sold elsewhere because she was not beautiful as Chiyo.There she meets the beautiful but awfully cruel Geisha Hatsumomo.......................................That's all I guess
The Conclusion
Memoirs of a Geisha is a beautifully written book.It has great characters especially pumpkin she was hilarious in a certain chapter but what amazed me the most was it detailed world of the joy and sadness of being a Geisha,sadly after the book came closer to the end it became a little weaker I felt like that the authour rushed to end the book anyway memoirs of a Geisha makes me think that perhaps that being a powerful or beautiful figure is not as great as it seems.Sometimes maybe just being a happy nobody is enough.
