Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden


Arthur is a particularly skilled narrator and I love his composing style.


A lovely, miserable , suggestive, invigorating and charming novel which drew in me beginning to end around a nine year old Japanese youngster, Chiyo Sakamoto , from an unfortunate fishing town sold by her evil and destitution stricken guardians into the world being a captive to the impulses of men and all the more influential ladies, however her sister Satsu experienced a far crueler destiny being sold into a massage parlor and into the ghastly universe of constrained prostitution.


"𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡, 𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐞. 𝐍𝐨 𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐬. 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬."


As the peruser, I felt fairly associated with Chiyo to some degree, or if nothing else partially. Large numbers of her decisions or had to make, regardless of whether I essentially concur with them. At the point when she felt torment, the portrayal was written in like way, that you, as the peruser, could conspicuously feel that aggravation as well.


"𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐬𝐦𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞 𝐮𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲."


This story was so rich and striking. With thoughtfulness regarding individual subtleties, you could nearly think this is a genuine memoir.(which isn't, it's fiction)


from her experience growing up as Chiyo, her days as a servant lastly her change into Sayuri and her life as a geisha. It was a surprising, sincere excursion. She goes through such countless difficulties to acquire the most ideal life and make her blessing from heaven. It is a demonstration of how life doesn't generally go as we need. That others activities can influence our own.


"𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭."


The existence of a Geisha truly interests me, and this book helped feed that interest. I basically can't envision what it might be want to be sold as a slave by your own family, just to be prepared up, to carry on with a daily existence simply pleasuring men. It creeps me out to try and consider it.


"𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧'𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐈 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬."


This is a stout book with a little more than 500 pages and it's a sluggish paced story. It functioned admirably generally. There were a couple of times when I believed the story should go a tad speedier and parts that I thought might have been dispensed with by and large.

Wanna Read!
