As the name of this book suggests, the book is all about, well, memoirs of a geisha.. :-)Before I read this book, all I knew about a geisha is that she's a Japanese girl who provides entertaining and lighthearted company to men. Nothing else I knew.. However, this story revolves around a geisha and with every page I turned, I got to know more.The strong point of the story is the way the memoirs have been presented. The way the entire plot has been weaved, makes it an intersting read.In fact, it was after reading the book that I was even more interested to watch the movie when it hit the theaters.
