A review by meg_31
Geisha of Gion by Mineko Iwasaki
adventurous
informative
medium-paced
4.5
Since discovering the controversy around memoirs of a geisha, I felt it was important to read this book to understand Mineko’s true version of events and life history.
I enjoyed it thoroughly and found it enlightening. I have learnt so much!
The timeline felt a little jumpy at points but on the whole I thought it was a great read and am glad I understand a bit more about the history and reality of geisha life, rather than the sordid misrepresentation from Golden.
