“This is why dreams can be such dangerous things: they smolder on like a fire does, and sometimes they consume us completely” //Memoirs of a Geisha~ Arthur Golden. Memoirs of a Geisha is a remarkable historical fiction set in Kyoto, Japan ; before, during and after the World War II. It tells the story of a geisha names Sayuri; the development of Chiyo- a young girl to Sayuri- a Geisha. The book gives us a beautiful introduction to Geisha, Japanese culture and the situation of the japan at the time of World War II. It kind of gets boring in the middle of the story but ends with a fascinating twist.

If you are checking for a self help book which is not like the cliche one; then grab this one. You’ll find it slap straight into your face.
