Hi!!!!!
I'm Martina! I want to write about the book that I've just finished reading, "Memoirs of a geisha".
The story is all about Sayuri, the geisha, from when she was a little girl called Chiyo who lived in a small fish town to when she stopped being a geisha and moved to New York.
So it is an autobiographal book (it is all narrated in first person), in which it is interesting to know about the traditional japanese figure of the geisha and about Sayuri's life, her studies to become a geisha, her enemies, her friends, her lovers, all with the social background of the second world war.
This book is edited by the "Penguin readers" and it is written by Arthur Golden. It is for the advanced level but the language is very simple and the words used very common. Maybe the only difficut is about the japanese words that aren't translated in English but they are always explained.
I really like this book and now I want to watch the film and see if the story is the same and how the director has imagined all the characters, espacially Sayuri,the main character.
Anyway if you want to read a simple but interesting story, and find out more about the geisha's world, this is the right book!

Hi Martina,
It sounds a fascinating story.
Remember to leave a space after any punctuation. In fact, why don't you edit this review and add the spaces?
Thanks,
James.
