Review by Virginia Jacobus

Memoirs of a Geisha is a richly cultured story of one Geisha's life. We follow Chiyo as she is sold from her poor fishing village and parents she loves to a renown Geisha House in Gion. In this house Chiyo is transformed from an inquisitive young girl to Sayuri the most sought after Geisha in Gion. As Sauyri rises to the height of her profession World War II erupts and she must use the influence of one her patrons to save her life. In the end she will find the price for his help is more than she can pay. This story weaves a wonderfully provocative tale of one womans destiny and the one true love of her life.
