Memories of a Geisha

I have recently read a novel written by Arthur Golden named "Memories of a Geisha". I really enjoyed to read this book, it is an exciting and arousing book, which made me think about life from a different point of view.

The main character in the book is Chiyo- Sayuri. The book centers around the young, nine year old girl, Chiyo, who lives in a poor fishing village. Chiyo and her older sister are sent to the geisha district. With her unusual blue-grey eyes, Chiyo is chosen to be trained to become a geisha but Hatsumomo, the top geisha of Mrs. Nitta, who had custody of all the geishas in the house, abuse her and makes it difficult for her because of her jealousy. Chiyo experiences some crisis due to Hatsumomo's attitude and her longing to her family.

The turning point in the book is when Chiyo meets Mr. Tanaka, a wealthy businessman, then her life changes dramatically. The knowledge that they will be together one day encourages her and helps her to improve her life.

To sum up, I would like to tell you that the book fascinated me. Therefore, I recommend the book to anyone who wants to be exposed to a different kind of life and meet a lovely and strong competition with difficults.
