Geisha: A Life
by Mineko Iwasaki
After reading Memoirs of a Geisha, and learning about how the book came to be, it seemed only right that I picked this book up and read the story directly from the mouth (hands?) of the woman who lived it.
While this tale may not have been as "theatrical" as MoaG, it certainly hit me harder in the feels. I was glad to be able to get to the truth behind the tale, to hear a woman speak of her experiences from an era where women were meant to be seen and not heard.
If you enjoyed MoaG, I highly, highly suggest reading Iwasaki's rendition.
