About this product

Product Information

A brilliant debut novel told with seamless authenticity and exquisite lyricism as the true confessions of one of Japan's most celebrated geisha. Nitta Sayuri's story begins in a poor fishing village in 1929, when, as a nine-year-old with unusual blue grey eyes, she is taken from her home and sold into slavery to a renowned geisha house. Through her eyes, we witness her transformation as she learns the rigorous arts of the geisha:  dance and music; wearing kimono, elaborate makeup and hair; pouring sake to reveal just a touch of inner wrist; competing with a jealour rival for men's solicitude and the money that goes with it.  But as World War II erupts and the geisha houses are forced to close, Sayuri, with little money and even less food, must reinvent herself all over again to find a rare kind of freedom on her own terms. Memoirs of a Geisha is a novel of nuances and vivid metaphor, of memorable characters rendered with humor and pathos.  And though the story is rich with detail and a vast knowledge of history, it is the transparent, seductive voice of Sayuri that listeners will long remember.

Reviews
"Astonishing . . . breathtaking . . . You are seduced completely." -Washington Post Book World "Captivating, minutely imagined . . . a novel that refuses to stay shut." -Newsweek "A story with the social vibrancy and narrative sweep of a much-loved 19th century bildungsroman. . . . This is a high-wire act. . . . Rarely has a world so closed and foreign been evoked with such natural assurance." -The New Yorker From the Trade Paperback edition.

    The puzzle arrived quickly and while the box is not in good shape, that was disclosed in the description so I’m giving this seller 5 stars! The price was fair and the quality of the puzzle appears to be as described and how it looked in the pictures. I would recommend this seller.

    Shipped promptly, packaged well to prevent damage but also using colored tissue paper so it felt like I was opening a present to myself. Item was exactly as described. I have been looking for this item for years now and would have paid more, but it was very reasonably priced. Very happy with my purchase.
