ferocious_reader 's review for:
Geisha of Gion
by Mineko Iwasaki
challenging
informative
medium-paced
I enjoyed this book very much! It was fascinating, though it could get a bit dry when detailing who did what with whom a hundred years ago. Though I fully acknowledge this probably would not have been a problem if I knew more about Japanese history and especially its important figures.
What I found a bit sad to be missing is a reaction or comment on Arthur Golden's Memoir of a Geisha. I read that this book was written because of Golden's misrepresentation, so as a direct reaction, so it feels a bit off that there is no mention of either book or film.
