About this listen

An extraordinarily vivid and beautifully written first novel exploring the hidden world of the geisha.

Memoirs of a Geisha is a rare and utterly engaging experience. The extraordinary tale of Sayuri, a young girl who grows up to become an acclaimed geisha, it spans a quarter of a century, from 1929 to the post-war years of Japan's dramatic history, and opens a window onto a half-hidden world of eroticism and enchantment, exploitation and degradation.

Critic reviews

"Golden tells a mesmerizing story." (The Los Angeles Times Sunday Book Review)
"Astonishing...breathtaking....You are seduced completely." (Washington Post Book World)
"Many...details serve to enrich Memoirs of a Geisha, giving Sayuri's story a sharper focus and providing the distinctive qualities the heroine herself lacks." (The New York Times Book Review)
