Memoirs of a Geisha

This brilliant debut novel presents with seamless authenticity and exquisite lyricism the true confessions of one of Japans most celebrated geisha. Memoirs of a Geisha takes us inside the world of Japanese culture, where virginity is auctioned to the highest bidder; where women are trained to beguile the most powerful men; and where love is scorned as illusion. It is a unique work of fiction—at once romantic, erotic, suspenseful—and completely unforgettable.
