It is always insightful to catch a glimpse into another culture. In "Memoirs of a Geisha", the reader is swept into the life of Sayuri, a semi-renowned geisha who recounts her tragic story from a bleak childhood into becoming a geisha. I found the story very satisfying, employing convincing ideas about the Japanese culture as well as the lives led by geishas. The transition of stages in Sayuri's life was executed flawlessly and peppered with colourful depictions of life within those transitions. Recommended for NCEA Level 2 Wide Reading.
