Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden

Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden

Nine-year-old Chiyo is sold by her impoverished father into a geisha house in Kyoto, where she trains for years in the exacting arts of conversation, dance and entertainment that geisha require, under a rival apprentice determined to destroy her.

Golden writes the world of prewar and wartime Kyoto's pleasure districts in enormous, immersive detail, and the novel is structured around Chiyo's long, patient pursuit of a single client she fell in love with as a child. It caused controversy for its portrayal by a male American author, but remains one of the most-read historical novels set in Japan.

An international bestseller and a major film, though its authenticity has been debated by the real geisha it drew on.
