Title: One of the Year's Best
Review: Memoirs of a Geisha captivates and transports the reader from his/her own space and place in time to the historic Geisha district of Kyoto, Japan within a chapter. The characters are touchable. The settings are as real as if one were seated alongside the guests of the famous tea houses. Arthur Golden is masterful at setting the scene and drawing the reader in, not as an observer --but as a participant. This is a terrific story told by a very talented storyteller. If I were giving out awards, this book would receive top honors!
