    One of my favorite books! It's a perfect combination: you enjoy the girl's story, get to know about Japanees culture and history, and reevaluate and appreciate what you have. I am glad I read it. If you are still not sure, give this story a chance. You'll like it, too.

    Es un libro muy interesante te mete de lleno en como era la vida en japon durante la 2° guerra y sobre todo te explica sobre unos de los temas mas controversiales que tenemos en occidente ¿quienes son las geishas? El libro nos enseña que ser geisha es mucho mas que kimonos bonitos y mujeres hermosas

    💡Learnt A Lot

    It's really sad :( Sayuri deserves something better, but she act like she didn't deserve those happiness. From this book, I learn the toughness of Sayuri for enduring all kind of hardships. My, even her daily life is a battlefield, until she died.

Quotes

  • Elle Carissahas quoted6 years ago
    our world is no more permanent than a wave rising on the ocean. Whatever our struggles and triumphs, however we may suffer them, all too soon they bleed into a wash, just like watery ink on paper.
  • Cynthia R. Tanidihas quoted5 years ago
    A memoir provides a record not so much of the memoirist as of the memoirist’s world.
  • Laura de Sotohas quoted6 years ago
    It’s time you were; a geisha must be very careful about the image she presents to the world
