Title: a beautiful blend of fact and fiction ...
Review: "memoirs of a geisha" is a beautifully written novel which probably needs no introduction . but i can't resist giving one all the same .set in japan during the 1930s and 1940s , it revolves around the life of sayuri , who is sold to a geisha house at the age of nine . the people she encounters , the life she endures , her feelings , the places she visits , and the various rituals she is made to perform . . . all are beautifully captured in this novel .the most lively character is that of her arch-rival hatsumomo .a lyrical novel filled with metaphors , drama , passion , hatred , love . . . the works ! it transports u to another world .the only shortcoming is sayuri's love for "the chairman" which appears to be very hollow .in short , a jewel of a book , to be hunted for and treasured .
