Geisha: A Life
by Mineko Iwasaki
I’m glad that I read Mineko’s version of her story first, instead of starting with Memoirs of a Geisha. What a woman! She tells her story so well, and includes all the details— both happy and painful— about being a Geisha. I knew very little about the world of geishas before reading this book, and I must admit that I thought they were more like courtesans than highly trained dancers. I’m not sure if I will even pick up Memoirs of a Geisha now that I have read Mineko’s account.
