Finally, I read this book too. I have seen the movie multiple times so there was no surprise is the novel. I really like this story but somehow I never liked the relationship between Sajuri and the president.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ yes that‘s a 6/5. I could not put this novel down. What a captivating story and eloquently written. I could nearly smell the air, envision the colors and scenes and feel the emotions throughout. The writing contained so many poetic figures of speech, I was stunned at the artistic way the author portrayed the story and brought it to life.

Willard Hotel June 2 around 2:00 I heard #antihero in the lobby. Around 2:15 I turned a corner and came upon this kimono in a hallway. #volumesandvocals

This book had been on my TBR for more time than I would have cared to admit!

It has made me clear all my misconceptions of geisha in general....this is definitely not a light read but I'm glad to have finally read it.

SarahBookInterrupted Excellent book…I read it long ago but it was one that stayed with me. 2y
SanjanaGhosh @SarahBookInterrupted I think it will stay with me for a long time too....I keep correcting myself that it's not an actual memoir! 2y
SarahBookInterrupted @SanjanaGhosh I forgot it was a fiction too. I know there is a movie. I haven‘t seen it but I‘m wonder if it does the book justice? Maybe I‘ll see if I can track it down. 2y
SanjanaGhosh @SarahBookInterrupted Just watched it yesterday and the movie left out so many characters altogether...no mention of the General who was Sayuri's danna...did not show Mr. Tanaka nor any part of her childhood...did not show the kimono maker and that whole ordeal during the war..like they just glided over it...it was quite disappointing. 2y
SarahBookInterrupted @SanjanaGhosh I hate when movies do that. When they leave out too much and it changes the whole experience of the book. Thanks for letting me know! 2y

I read memoirs of a Geisha a long time ago. This book is a memoir of the Geiko who inspired that story. I don‘t remember much about it, but other than being fictionalised he did a fairly good job of being faithful (though I do think their was some confusion between the Geisha and the girls in the pleasure district still).
While I would have liked this to be a bit more in depth, I definitely learned a lot about the topic!
