Description
In the world of 1920s Japan, a young girl's life is forever changed when she is sold into slavery to a renowned geisha house. Nitta Sayuri's story is one of transformation and survival, as she learns the rigorous arts of the geisha: dance and music, elaborate makeup and hair, and the delicate balance of power and desire. As Sayuri navigates the decadent heart of Gion, the geisha district of Kyoto, she must confront the harsh realities of her new world. With the geisha houses forced to close during World War II, Sayuri must reinvent herself in order to find a rare kind of freedom on her own terms. This powerful and poignant memoir is a testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit.
