I have come to this about 10 years after this book swept readers away. I can absolutely endorse the hype: it’s hard to believe that this memoir-style novel from the perspective of a fictional a 1930s geisha is written by a male American academic! Although Sayuri’s experience is narrow and confined, Golden captures the profound feeling and emotion from such a straitened life.
