Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden
4.0

This was a thoroughly interesting book, full of beautiful images. The descriptions truly made this book and I feel it is very unique. The plot was gripping and easy to follow and I found the main character to be very likeable (not going to lie she was a bit naive at times throughout the novel)However I had to rate 3/5 as this book very historically inaccurate and at times, makes the Japanese Geisha culture to be some sort of oddity. However if you keep in mind that this book is fiction it's very interesting to read.
